Cavaillon is a town about 10km/6 miles south of our home base in L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue. We ventured there trying to scout a good vantage point to photograph a sunset.
Same arch as the first image but looking the other way.
Walking around town we looked for a place to eat lunch. We did not eat here but, I liked the cowgirl boots look when I walked by. We ate indoors in a very authentic local bar/restaurant - cash only, no credit cards - owner's kids racing around the room including behind the bar - birthday party at a multi-generation table - soccer game on the wall mount TV - locals having beers and espresso at the stand-up bar, talking loudly and gesticulating wildly - it seemed too intrusive to take pictures so I didn't.
The west side of the town has a steep escarpment on the east side of the hill and this rolling view westward.
The east side view stretches out across town to the west end of the Petite Luberon mountain ridge. If I remember correctly from my pilot days, the sky contains remnants of alto cumulus standing lenticular clouds (wave clouds) that were set up by the strong "mistral" that has been blowing for days hitting the mountains of the Vaucluse and the Luberon.
Google translate says this means, "danger -cliffs - risk of falling."
Yes, there is some danger.
