Sit & Dream in Provence

I'm feeling a little blue because I won't be visiting Provence this Autumn. Looking back through my photos taken last October, I still find little treasures to share with you. Some of you have been here, others plan to visit soon. You will love this area of France.........it will stay in your memory for years to come......and, like me, you will hope to return.

It's rare to find a country house in France that doesn't have an outdoor living area. It is as much part of the house as any indoor room. Designed for sitting, dreaming, perhaps reading, and always for eating and drinking.

Aviaries and fruit trees in the courtyard.

Visiting textile dealer Michel Biehn's amazingly beautiful house/shop/office in L'Isle sur la Sorgue, I felt the charming garden leading to the front entrance provided a harmonious link to the lovely interior. Provencal fabrics and furnishings spilled out from each room, and a peek into the magnificent kitchen set my heart racing........................

.......and over there, just beyond the trees........

Sunday Antiques Market

.....the River Sorgue complete with waterwheels and bridges, invited diners to sit a while, relax with a glass of wine, after the busy market day.

Next time I'll show you more of the beautiful sitting places at La Madone in the town of Apt, Provence.
