Tourrettes-sur-Loup: Provence’s City of Violets

Tourrettes-sur-Loup The City of Violets in Provence

The thrill of discovering new villages with the expectation that the next one will be more charming than the last is why my early trips to France entailed a five-page list of villages in alphabetical order to see. The sight of this list would often make my husband’s face turn pale from exhaustion at the thought of it.

Read the original article on Cobblestones and Vineyards for a Provencal photo journey via Cheryl’s images of this hilltop village only a few kilometres from the Côte d’Azur. The medieval town of Tourrettes-sur-Loup has the typical charming walkways and cobblestones, and the village hosts an annual flower festival in February centred around purple violets.

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.
