Tarascon

Tarascon is a small Provencal village situated on the banks of the Rhone. It has a special touch that is unlike the other bourgeois villages and towns that I stopped in in Provence. This little town really surprised us because it is filled with great tourist spots, but we thought it was a ghost town. This could have been because everyone was sleeping during the summer heat. Aside from the story, Tarascon is a nice peaceful town that has one of the most beautiful medieval castles in southern France and a port on the Rhone cute. Tarascon reminds a little of the stain as is his most illustrious Tartarin, an adventurer Don Quixote style created by writer Daudet Alphonso to ridicule the people of the city.
