Provence Villages not to miss

for an authentic experience and a breath of fresh air…

There are many Provence villages not to miss.         I have a highlighted a few here that standout for their authentic side (less touristy) and offer beautiful views and peaceful gardens.  

I have designed a tour taking you to these less touristy places along with some of the more popular “must sees”.  The tour also takes you to three different mountainous areas: The Luberon, Mont Ventoux and Les Alpilles.

How Has Provence Changed?

How Has Provence Changed? – a look at Saint-Remy de Provence

Bicycle restaurant in Saint-Remy de Provence, 1996

Obviously things change in twenty years – anywhere; our house, the garden, the community, not to mention ourselves.  Sometimes, we like the change, other times we wish it would go away…or come back depending on how you look at it.  It’s probably a good thing I changed a bit since coming to Provence 20 years ago – my Seattle grunge attire when I first arrived didn’t set so well in the chic French attire (those dreadful looks of French woman when I entered a boutique kind of got to me).
