Le Brusc: I usually ride my bike and make my way into the village. The beaches are beautiful, the atmosphere is very local and it feels like it’s been untouched. There is an authenticity about this place and I believe that this is why I like it so much.
Tourtour — one of the prettiest towns I’ve seen. The views are spectacular and it feels like a little hideaway, tucked up in the high hills of the Haut Var, in Provence.
Cotignac, Haut Var: I really liked Cotignac and would almost consider this a nice place to live or spend a few months.
Haut Var: La Chute du Grand Baou — The pool looked fairly calm which was such a contrast to the force of the water that was pouring into it.

I am lucky to live right between Bandol & Sanary. If I walk to Bandol I walk by the beautiful open sea along the Baie de Bandol.
The Var: I have enjoyed a glorious six weeks traveling to many of the different towns along the coast in the Var. I think I saw just about every Christmas market in the area, and I loved it!
Provence in autumn is my favorite time of year. The perfect temperature & villages are still open but its calm after a busy tourist season.
The Summer Flowers of Provence: When Spring arrived in Provence, I remember being very excited one day as I passed my first Poppy field. It was the month of May. I gasped when I came across this field of red that appeared before me.
