Olive Grove



This olive grove lies at the foot of the cliffs upon the top of which the 'village perché' (perched village) of Les-Baux-de-Provence sits. This photograph was taken from the ramparts of the medieval castle as the sun sank lower in the late afternoon.

Flower Carpet

At this time of years a small white flower, which looks a little like rocket, fills the olive groves and vineyards.

This particular olive grove is in Rasteau - between Orange and Vaison-la-Romaine - a village more famed for its sweet wine.
