End of summer in peaceful Provence.

Every year I go and stay with my good friends at their chateau in Provence (the South of France). I am heading back off there next Sunday with Another friend from London. When I'm out there I really love soaking up, not only the rays but the French vintage 'feel' of the place from the bustling market in the town to the summer kitchen at the Chateau with the iron furniture and the thick worn stone walls and delicate creepers up the side, to the antique wooden furniture with lavender laid out though out.







We love to explore the area and always take pictures when we visit small towns, rivers and lakes.




From the water is one of the best ways of seeing towns from the outside as demonstrated from these pictures you can see the way the buildings have evolved along the waterfront almost like small french logo blocks!




There is a stunning use of pastel colours used on the outside of the buildings that only buildings on the med can seem to get away with - in the UK it can look tacky! Cannot WAIT to go back.
