Sablet, France

On Wednesday we drove from Allevard to Sablet (where we have a house rented for a week).
Again it was a beautiful drive through big mountains, small mountains, quaint villages, vinyards, orchards, etc. etc.

When we arrived in Sablet a call to Paul (the landlord) led to his quick arrival at the town square. Sablet is a tiny French medieval town with a church at the top of the hill and circular lanes around it. There's even a thick wall to protect the town (our house is built right into the wall with the bathroom inside the protction and the rest of the house built up against the wall). When we saw the place both Paula and I rated it a 10 out of 10 (and that rating hasn't changed after 3 days - it's great!). For information on renting the house if you want to spend some time in a beautiful medieval village in Provence (and who doesn't!?!!??) - check out http://www.petitportail.com/ Tell them Jack and Paula sent you!

We rambled around town a bit and marveled at the cars on the narrow lanes. Here are some photos...
