Turkey in Provence

I loved the old architecture and the vines that grew up the old house walls  
I have so much to be thankful for this year: a healthy family, a wonderful husband, and precious nephew, new and old friends, a chance to explore Europe, the list goes on and on. Since we were unable to return the the States to reflect on this glorious year, we headed to Avignon, a town near Provence, France. It was there we dined on buttery croissants, flaky baguettes, creamy brie, magnificent wine and delicious turkey!

On top of Roussillon
While we weren't dining decadently, we spent our time sight seeing in the beautiful country side and visiting local wineries. Lacoste, Goult, Luberon were all tiny scenic towns we spent time in. Roussillon was another small town we went to that reminded us of Sedona, Arizona because of its rich red soil.

The chateau of Marquis de Sade in Lacoste 
Luberon, where Russell Crowe filmed "A Good Year"
It was a nice, relaxing trip and a Thanksgiving I will not soon forget. Now that we are back in Nussloch, I am busy working off the excess French calories- all enjoyed guilt free!
