It can be hot in August in the South of France, which is why you don’t even need an excuse to get lost in the pages of a novel. In her 3rd book, Jane Dunning takes you to a vineyard in the Var, where family dynamics and some unsavoury guests fill the chapters. Sophie Claire is back with her latest publication, “An Escape to Provence” - her love letter to the region.
We recently discovered Terre Ugo, a family-run farm outside of Aix-en-Provence, where they planted 30,000 Lavandin shrubs in 2017. Walk through the purple fields, shop in their boutique, take a workshop or enjoy a meal. Plan a visit before August 31st.
Now is a great time to plan a fall trip to southern France. In a recent post, Montana-based photographer Renata Haidle suggests several day trips from Avignon. These quick drives from the Papal city deliver a mix of charming villages, historical sites, and plenty of photo ops. In addition, Author Gayle Padgett shares five reasons to visit Mougins in the Alpes Maritimes near Cannes. Finally, while there are many reasons to visit Château la Coste and explore the Art & Architecture walk, the addition of Bob Dylan’s “Rail Car” sculpture is one more.
