Menerbes

I was sitting on a step infront of this door drawing it when Professor came up and started to talk to me. I told him that I wanted to see Dora Maar's house that Picasso built for her, Professor said, "I think you're drawing it." :)

Most of the villages that we have seen in our area have this same look to them.

Looking at the vineyards in the valley below.

Turet built into the wall for protection. In our art history class we learned that rounded turets were built after the invention of canons (this helps establish a rough time period) because canon balls would be deflected off of its rounded sides.

Today my Travel Portfolio class took a field trip to Menerbes, other than Picasso building a house for his wife Dora Maar and the location of the musee de tire-bouchon, little is exciting about Menerbes, but it is a beautiful town! I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures!!
