I can’t think of more romantic places than medieval little villages in Provence.
I discovered the route from Vence through 7 little medieval villages few years ago during my first trip to South France. Those isolated, not at all touristic, charming places are full of outstanding sights, ancient stone stairways, narrow streets, lazy cats resting at old doorways… This summer I followed the route for the second time and I felt in love with the places again.
The weather in London continues to surprise me this summer. I have already mentioned that it rains here less than in most European countries this year and temperatures are around pleasant 24 degrees. Today it’s even sunny.
In England this can mean only one thing – it’s time for Pimm’s and lemonade.
Well, I shouldn’t really complain – this year summer in England isn’t that bad. Or maybe for the first time after moving here I don’t feel like I am missing anything as it is actually raining quite a lot in most European cities. My mum gives me a daily update of the increasing levels of water in Poland during my morning calls home so I am pretty clear with the situation. Plus friends living somewhere between Warsaw and Paris all complain about wet weather this summer.
There isn’t, however, raining much in Provence, and I wouldn’t mind at all to be there now, in my favourite little bar in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, sipping a glass of world’s best rose, playing cards, chatting to local kids (or trying to understand their French to be more specific)…
It’s been a while since I have written a proper post here and I hope I still remember how to do it. I promise to practice more now and publish my stories frequently for those who are looking for nice places to eat during their holiday trips, especially as I have visited lots of fantastic places myself recently.
If you have any recommendations for subjects of next posts I would love to hear them.
Provence is my number one summer holiday destination (apart from my parents’ home in Poland obviously) and I wouldn’t mind moving there for good one day. But till this dream actually comes true I make a clever use of my holiday allowance and spend at least few days there every summer. And so I did this year as well.
