SUMMER IN PROVENCE

Old chateau converted into an open air cinema, Groeux les Bains

I've just returned from a short summer holiday in Provence (which, at this time of year, is overwhelmingly dominated by blonde Dutch families with their requisite 2.4 children in tow). I was so happy to revisit many of the spots I checked out during my backpacker adventure down here a year ago, plus a couple of new discoveries. I absolutely adore Provence. If I thought I could get work down this way I'd move here in a red hot minute. The pine trees, the oak forests, the cicadas, the apricots, the Roman architecture. Idyllic doesn't even begin to cover it.
