Last stop - Buoux ***

As snow and rain caught up with us, we headed seawards again and found ourselves in Buoux for the last days enjoying sunlight and scenery. After Spain's low season and a rather solitary nature enjoyment, we got directly into the Provence high season. Disgusting visit to Fontaine de Vaucluse with thousands of merchants at Petrarka's temple, not as disappointing sight of Rousillon the ocre one and Notre Dame de Senanque abbaye.


Climbing in Buoux is superbe though - quality, not too many people, and lots of projects!!! Place to come back to.

Superb route, one of the best of Buoux. I also love this place, it is beautiful, with lavender fields,not so crowded, with lots of projects...good climbers like Destivelle, Lyn Hill, Edlinger...were frequent climbers there.Charming place...
