That's how I went to Ventabren, Tarascon, and Beaucaire. I walked into the bus terminal and asked, where can I go right now on the bus?! I really wanted to go to Saint-Remy but the bus wasn't running that day - so I went to Tarascon instead! To visit many of the smaller villages, one needs to go by car. I would love to visit Gordes and Perpignan. When I visit the south, I tend to visit places that I can take public transportation to. That’s how I went to Ventabren, Tarascon, and Beaucaire.

Elected several times most charming village in France and it really deserves it! Arnaud It is not so much a town as a village: Mirmande in the Drôme “département”.

But we found that exploring 20-30 kms inland gave you the real Langedoc. The trek to the top of Pic St Loup was worth every step.

So crowded during the middle of the day...though in the morning hours and after the tour buses depart, the village turns absolutely magical. The colors are spectacular during these times. Fantastic townsfolk as well. I could say the same thing about Gordes...another fine ville. Roussillon.
