Quinson

On my last, and second day, I went for hiking. I followed a path from La Vudèle, passed by the village Quinson, heading to the Gorges du Verdon…..

The beautiful village Quinson is situated in a valley surrounded by steep cliffs and forests..most of the houses in the village are built of natural stones and their shutters where painted in beautiful bright pastel colours adding lots of charm. The Museum of Prehistory in the center of the village is a must to visit. It’s one of Europe’s largests and is close to many of the sites where many ancient remains were discovered. Unfortunately I had no time to visit this museum, but will definately do when I’m going to La Vudèle next summer :-)

So many different shades of green…stunning view over the forests on my way to Quinson
