Fontaine de Vaucluse

This afternoon we went for a drive to the gorgeous village of Fontaine de Vaucluse which was a short 20 minutes away. Cavaillon is a particularly unattractive town but its proximity for visiting so many other villages makes it appealing. Fontaine de Vaucluse has this most beautiful river flowing through the town which is fed from a deep underground spring. They've tried to reach the bottom of the spring using a small submarine robot with a camera on the end of it but it could only go to a depth of about 308m.
