Today, let me take you on a trip to the Alpilles, that mountainous massif located between the Durance and the Rhône, a few miles south Avignon. Are you having trouble picturing it? Then let the Mistral sweep you off your feet and take you to the Mediterranean, where your skin burns under the Provencal sun, and you’re suddenly face to face with a steep limestone massif. There you are. The Alpilles.
