I can feel the light in your photos. When I say adequately, I need to be clear; I mean you capture the actual magical light brilliantly, and I have never seen it even captured adequately. Well done. My mother Diana Dean Kellerman moved to her own home in 1974, and lived there for many years with her partner of 55 years, Gloria Ramsey. They played Medieval Music in churches across France and Italy. They loved Ménerbes. My mother left me in California when I was 5, in 1969, to live with her "wife." Ménerbes is beautiful, and it will always be the village that stole my Mother from me, sadly.

This is much appreciated. Small world, living in Occidental. Forgotten his name, we had a good customer who had a wine shop in Occidental who was a collector of wine openers and showed off many of them in his shop. I don't think he has his shop anymore. We are headed to Provence tomorrow and can't wait to go exploring the region. Take care.

I live about 2 miles from the town of Occidental where you had your restaurant. I traveled by rental car in the Luberon looking for a village famous for making wine openers. I don't speak French but found the village and bought a beautiful wine opener with a malachite handle. I have never forgotten that day and my time in Provence. Thanks for sharing.

Provence was largely unknown to many foreigners before he published his numerous books about the area. He told me he came home one day and there was a tour bus in front of his house and his house was full of tourists taking pictures. He hadn't locked the door and they just walked in.Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084254959003451085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-7558521056532005592020-07-21T06:31:06.288-07:002020-07-21T06:31:06.288-07:00Michel...can you tell me what the things are that ...Michel...can you tell me what the things are that Peter Mayle is to blame for?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765925820575672163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-33562554432388484732016-09-18T03:05:34.356-07:002016-09-18T03:05:34.356-07:00LOVELY photos Michel!!
