I am so very excited; I get to go to ______ the first week in November 2008.
[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Southern French Alps : Mercantour, Nizza Hinterland, Haute-Provence...
The landscapes, wildlife and street scenes are incredible this time of year.
Let me tell you why this is the best place to go _____
First of all the larches are on fire! It might be our equivalent of aspens, color-wise... And you won't be annoyed by crowds, guaranteed. Even touristic destinations like Gordes (Luberon) or the Gorges du Verdon won't feel like an african bush taxi on the verge of departure (it does in summer - only without the goats and chickens, maybe).
And it has a feeling of remoteness, even wilderness, you can seldom feel in France.
For wildlife, there are wolves... Good luck to see one's tail, it's a very serious photographic game. You may more probably see vultures, all kinds of mountain goats of course (chamois are in rut in november, they can be quite impressive and aren't as wary as usual), and even some interesting specimen of the local
homo sapiens (?) provencialis.
I've put a few images from the end of october (2005) in Allos, at the source of the Verdon - the village is Luceram, quite a bit to the south, between Nizza and Menton in the hinterland.
