Every birthday, Mariko asks me what I want for dinner, and my mind instantly goes to oyakodon — it’s my absolute favorite! This year, I almost chose okonomiyaki, but in the end, the mighty oyakodon won out.
Another culinary masterpiece by Mariko. Delicious!
Today, we spent the day exploring Saint-Rémy and Les Baux-de-Provence. Our first stop was the Carrières des Lumières, an incredible projection show set inside an old quarry, where vibrant images come to life on the limestone walls. It was truly breathtaking!
Afterwards, we enjoyed a lovely lunch in Saint-Rémy and took some time to stroll around the charming town. Later, we made our way to Avignon to catch the TGV train back to Paris. It was a wonderful way to wrap up our visit to Provence.
Today we took an early TGV train from Paris to Avignon, then rented a car and started our Provence trip. Our first stop was the town of Ménerbes, where we enjoyed a yummy lunch. The duck was amazing!
Next, we drove to Roussillon and walked around the charming town, then relaxed at the outdoor cafe and enjoyed an afternoon coffee before heading to the town of Venasque where we would stay the night.
We stayed at Les Remparts, which also has an excellent restaurant. So far, all the meals we’ve had on this trip have been stellar!
