Saint Saturnin les Apt

Saint Saturnin is a small town in Luberon, which is a part of Provence between Aix and Avignon. Unless you spend a lot of time in southern France, I suppose those names shouldn't mean much, and really this is just one of a million quaint little southern Frenchy towns. It's pretty deserted because it's so late in the season, and if the layout of the house we're staying in is any indication, it's a summer type of place. Most of the restaurants and shops are closed, but we found one to have lunch in that served kickass food. Reba's on a food photography kick (thanks, Ling) so enjoy the photos.

Later on we hiked up the hill to the local ruined Chateau, which appears to have had a monastery added at some point. The hill also had some old windmills, which was really cool too. I looked inside one, and all the old wooden gears are still in there, totally awesome.
