We made a weekend visit to the Drôme department this weekend, suffering a biting cold winter wind to visit the villages of St-Paul-Trois-Chateaux, Clansayes, Chamaret, Grignan, Grillon, Valréas and Taulignan (see the area map). In the tiny village of Chamaret we found this lovely sundial, quite unusual in that it's made from ceramic rather than the usual carved stone or 19th-century paint.
Bright colors and a village scene, with details such as a cyclist, picnickers and petanque players.
We overnighted in Valréas, where we've visited on previous occasions. We managed to visit quite a few villages in one short weekend - the temperature was around zero degrees (C) and the stiff wind made village wandering more like village scurrying, with frequent café stops for re-heating.
