Greetings from a very hot south of France. We’ve had some lovely beach mornings – setting up camp at about 9am before it gets too crowded, and enjoying a few dips in the Mediterranean before a long lunch and a very-welcome afternoon sieste (nap).
Today I’d like to share a bit of what a summer in Provence looks like in photos– ie. some of our favorite activities and ones you might enjoy trying on a visit to the south of France.
Summer in Provence is…

Wine-tasting in Bandol & Cassis…
Eating as much “artisanal” glace (ice cream) as possible…
