    1. She's next to a famous historical site, Palais du Papes (Palace of the Pope). And she's higher than the highest peak of the palace. I couldn't wait to see her in person. We spent a week there in September.

  3. I have never been there but certainly have heard a lot about it historically and travel-wise. She is beautiful and so are your words about her.

    1. I saw others writing haiku in the 3-3-3 format so decided to have a go. It worked for this one. Glad you like it!
