Sablet: Dentelles

The Dentelles (meaning "teeth" or "lace") are a range of small mountains just east of Sablet. We drove around them and visited a number of nearby towns and villages.

		Roman bridge at Vaison-la-Romaine, still in use. In 1992, a disastrous flood covered this bridge by almost a metre, despite the high retaining walls. Thirty people died, but the bridge survived. *
		Fountain in Seguret. *
		Roses and an ice-cream shop in Seguret but alas, like the rest of the village, the shop was shut. *

After our week in Provence, it was time to move on to Millau.
