I was lucky to have travelled to France alot with my father when younger but never went to Provence ( sadly ) Next year my husband and I are bringing our two pugs who have been to France several times and want to see smell and taste all of those locations and villages you mentioned. Can you suggest a good base area or village location so we can explore. I am looking for a small private villa/lodge location with pool...I suppose a very mini La Siroque!!

We recently watched it again. I am sorry that the pandemic kept us away from Provence for the entire year. I have lots of material and your comments have inspired me to write some new posts. Thanks so much for your time. We wish you a very healthy, happy and safe 2021. Maybe our paths will cross in Provence in the future.

I first became aware of Provence after purchasing a book "the most beautiful villages of Provence" about 2001. I was quite captivated by the architecture and culture that was at the time a snapshot of a world i did not know existed in all its quaint charm. Over the years I have looked at the pictures of French countryside for inspiration. However like you both "A Good Year" captivated me anew. Some films resonate with you and the house seemed oddly familiar. I think its overgrown nature and lots of green resonated with me especially living here in the Caribbean. The film has since become one of the select few films i can look at and never fail to be captivated. It never fails to inspire me to undertake some new project in the yard. I have also since began to learn French and it is my intent to find an apprenticeship on a farm as a handyman/ builder engaged in restoring some of the old buildings which dot the area it seems. <br />Your blog came up during a routine search for all things Provence and I have been reading your posts with great enthusiasm. Your blog has continued to keep my interest and growing love and respect for this slower, more tranquil way of life. So I encourage you to keep Provence alive in our hearts and minds for those of us who cant be there at this time. It is my intent to visit Provence sometime in the next 2/3 years but until then your stories provide a rare insight into french country living and your pictures are a visual treat vibrant with colour people and sights to be enjoyed. I will continue to eagerly await your blogs which very much keep Provence alive in the hearts and minds of all us aficionados of Provencial culture. Please continue in your labour of love. There are some of us who respect and love you for your efforts.<br />Do continue to take care of yourselves. I look forward to your future posts.<br />Warm Regards<br />Colin-Dale Marcelle<br />Trinidad and TobagoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249166241321280936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-31856159266247319972020-02-21T21:34:53.330-08:002020-02-21T21:34:53.330-08:00My wife and I are fanatical about Provence and dur...My wife and I are fanatical about Provence and during one stay in Lourmarin, we watched A Good Year one rainy evening and visited the locations the next day. Thank you for filling in the details. We loved Chateau La Canorgue but could not buy a bottle of Le Point Perdu as it was sold out.<br />Henri StaubHenri Staubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555095308370176675noreply@blogger.com
