Paris and South France

The stars on the Eiffel Tower represent the fact that it is now the French president's turn to be president of the European Union.



The church in the town of Bezelay, famous for its restaurants.



The town from far away.




We visited a museum about the canal that connects the Loire and the Saone. There are 61 boat/water locks, whatever you call them. This is the owner's house of the nearby old no longer working ceramic factory and the house had to show off the products created in the factory.



Arles in the town centre by the town hall.


The beach at St Marie de la Mer, it's so good to be swimming in salt water again, and it was really warm.



In front of the Haribo museum/factory.



A view of the city Uzes.



A church there, famous for its fancy organ.



The natural water source for Perrier exists under this gazebo. We took a tour of the factory and how they make thirty million bottles a day.

Wow more pictures! Finally! Great picture of the Tour De Eiffel! The town hall of Arle still looks the same as I remembered it. Did you go inside?

St Etienne is close to the Place where Goetz got married 5 years ago and lies at the foot of the Massif Central and/or close to Lyon. It is not at the ocean.

The beaches I went to when I was in Arles were "La Grande Motte" and "St. Marie de La Mer."
