First stop, Marseilles, where we trekked to Lourmarin. There, short of Euros, we met a very kind Frenchman who was there for the Porsche gathering. He helped us find an ATM. We toured the village and ate some fresh pastries. We found our way to a wine shop and bought a 500 of the dry rose for which the area is known. The store owner generously gave us a corkscrew and little plastic wine glasses. While sampling the wine, we watched the parade of Porsches, and waved at our ATM friend as he went by.
From there we went to Aix en Provence, had lunch, and made a quick walking trip around town, where the highlight was Cathedrale St. Sauveur.
We had dinner at the steak and seafood restaurant where we were careful to avoid leaving uncomfortably full. It was however at the expense of a lot of wasted food.
