Beaufort-sur-Gervanne

We just spent a great, relaxing few days with our family in Beaufort-sur-Gervanne in the Drôme area of the Rhône-Alpes in southeastern France. It's also located within Vercors Regional Natural Park, which during World War II served as a safe and defensible position for the French Resistance.

Check out the pictures of the town and the lovely vineyards and farmland surrounding it, as well as some views of Crest and the tower of Crest which was used as a prison, living quarters and for protection of the city.





A very fun experience - visiting a goat farm and creamery, having the chance to watch the goats at feeding and milking time :)
