Banon A Land of Goat Cheese, Lavender, and Wheat

Cheryl Shufflebotham · Local Food Producers · Taste

The small perched village of Banon, located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, is authentic Provence at its best. Banon wasn’t at the top of my list to see but was a spur-of-the-moment stop. What a surprise! I had no idea that it would prove to be the most photogenic village in the region.

Read Cobblestones and Vineyards for Cheryl’s photo gallery of their visit to Banon, and find out why this village is one she says is one of the prettiest in a region of beautiful villages. Read about the spcial goat cheese from Banon with an AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) classification.

Although, Cheryl and her husband live in upstate New York, she tells us that she is always yearning, planning, maneuvering to make her way back to France.

Cheryl's love for France started almost eleven years ago with "a once in a lifetime" ten-year anniversary trip. These wannabe expats have been back every year since that trip!

Cheryl's first French love is the region of Burgundy, but then a few years ago, she discovered Provence. Now she admits that she is torn between Burgundy and Provence. It sounds like Provence has her spellbound, "I can’t quite put a finger on what it is about Provence, but its intoxication keeps luring me back for more."

Cheryl started her blog Cobblestone and Vineyards to explore the simple charms of France, those small details that capture the heart.
