Cycling in Provence – Through the Vineyards of the Luberon

February 28, 2017

When I packed my cycle kit to come over this time, I put in enough layers to keep me warm in the expected arctic temperatures, hoping to snatch a few precious moments out on the bike before dashing home to thaw out in front of the fire. I think, in hindsight, I rather over-packed as …

Incredible views of the Citadelle and Art in Forcalquier

February 27, 2017

This morning I hopped in the car and headed across to Forcalquier, a short distance from us in the neighbouring Department of Alpes-De-Haute-Provence.

The Camargue: Horses, Bulls, and Gardians of Provence

February 21, 2017

Southwest Provence, around Arles and the Camargue, has a very distinctive culture: it’s a horse and bull culture. This marshy area, unsuitable for development, has been of little interest to humans over the years. Thus, it was a perfect place for herds of wild white horses, black cattle, and a multitude of birds, including pink flamingos. …

A Colourful Circular Winter Walk In Provence

February 13, 2017

I’ve mentioned before that Winter is a great time to visit Provence – of course, it can be frigid, thanks to the clear night skies and subsequent frosts, but the days can be stunning with bright blue skies, little or no breeze and the fantastic light that cheers you up in the depth of winter. …
