Farewell Provence, Hello Paris!

Our time in Provence has come to an end. We saw lot of the area and did so without running ourselves completely ragged. The past couple days saw us in Les Baux de Provence and Avignon again. We tried to keep the driving to a minimum and did not want […]

The road back to St. Remy

Minutes after our time in Roussillon came to an end and we got back in the car, our daughter fell fast asleep. I quickly put a Charlie Parker disc in the cd player, rolled down the window, and drove through the Luberon Mountains – cruising through the hillside/top towns of […]

Roussillon – The colors of Provence

A view from the road, on the way to Roussillon. Nothing makes me think of Provence more than a little stone house or shed in the middle of a field (of lavender, sunflowers, or in this case, grapes). My dream view. Oh, to wake up and take breakfast out to […]

Many vacation homes will not employ a housekeeping staff, meaning the chores of homelife will travel with you. You will […]

Pont de Gard

On Tuesday morning we headed west to Pont du Gard. Pont du Gard is a Roman aqueduct dating back more than 2000 yeards. It sits on the river Gardon (it is possible to kayak and canoe here, we saw a group of kayakers launch just north of Pont du Gard.) […]
