With hot weather, the cicada song marks the summer months in Provence. By the thousands, cicadas emerge from their underground slumber and camouflage in the trees. You either love or loath these insects whose music straddles the daylight and evening hours. If you are lucky enough to have a frog living nearby, they assume the role of the nighttime concert and good luck sleeping.
By this time in June, the fields of red poppies have faded to dusty pink, and the bright yellow Spanish Broom takes centre stage. Speculation builds as to when the lavender flowers will reach their peak and where to find the best fields. Bougainvillea, in vibrant red and fuchsia hues, decorates village walls creating a photographer’s dream world. So fragrant are the tiny white Jasmine flowers that you begin to feel like you are living inside a perfume bottle.
