Le Poët-Laval in the Drôme Provençale
Our third consecutive summer in Le Poët-Laval, one of France's most beautiful villages — hilltop views, medieval alleyways, and the heatwave that almost got the better of us.

Trail Running in the Saoû Forest to Escape the Heatwave
On our last morning in the Drôme Provençale, a short trail run in the Saoû forest — one final escape from the heatwave before heading back to Grenoble.
Exploring Le Poët-Laval Through Trail Running
Our first morning at Le Poët-Laval: a 10.3 km trail run from our gîte's doorstep, exploring the village before the heat set in.

Nyons in the Drôme Provençale — a town my husband has always wanted to visit, famous for its local olives and weekly market.
Châteaux in the Drôme Provençale
Ten châteaux within a 10 km radius of our gîte, though the heatwave kept us from touring most of them.
