The first stop on our Mediterranean cruise was the gorgeous French countryside in Provence. The cruise ship docked in Marseille, France and we took a bus to the little village of Roussillon and later to the lavender museum.
While in the village, we had free time to explore on our own and get something to eat. There were several cafes to sit down and enjoy a meal, but we got bread at a bakery (which was delicious) as well as macaroons (my personal favorite!).
After visiting Roussillon, we went to Musée de la Lavande , a lavender museum where we learned about the amazing lavender plant and bought plenty of souvenirs!
After a long day in Provence we returned to the cruise ship for a relaxing evening watching the beautiful sunset.
