At the Carnival in St. Remy de Provence

Everyone's a winner at the carnival

ST. REMY de PROVENCE - This is the quintessential quaint Provencal town with a ton of history and culture, a cute little old town center, galleries, great restaurants...but every once in a while you got to let the carnies in. We stumbled across the movable rip-off on our way back from Les Baux, drawn in by the flashing lights and thumping music. The kids, of course, were thrilled, and even learned how to negotiate for a better worthless prize in French. In exchange we got a pretty decent dinner at  La Gousse d'Ail, a quirky old style eatery right down the block from the carnival.
