The problem with living or visiting Provence in France is that you need a car. The miles are many between each village, city, spot, museum, church, beach, path, market, brocante and the hidden gems that history has marked.
Many miles.
When you live faraway from France those one or two hours drives one way do not sound like much. But once you are here the reality that jet lag brings and the pleasure to soak in the moment comes tumble down to remind you that driving two hours anywhere is a pain in the... neck that any of us would want to endure.
Luckily I live nearby some utterly charming places that keep me happily put.
Cassis and Sanary being two of them.
But since my friend Allison has been here, we have traveled miles. Allison rented a car and I slept in it. Though I always told her where to go before I zonked out.
If you come to Provence-
Rent a car,
Visit one place per day and be prepared to drive, pay Freeway Tolls and pack water.
Places to See:
Besides every inch of it?
As much as you can.
I know three places to stay one at each side.
and the Tiny House by Aix.
If you would like more information let me know.
Spring feels around the corner.
Allison leaves tomorrow.
Maggie came home today.
