PROVENCE
Painters have used Province as a source of inspiration since prehistoric times, Van Gogh, for example. There is something special about the light-defused landscapes. Other draws are the Roman ruins, arches, aquaducts, and columns; the French villages, with their shop windows and markets; the abbeys, the sunflowers, and the never-ending fragrant lavender fields.
The Camargue is a region of wetland and wildlife bordering the Mediterranean, which supports a large flamingo population. The white Camargue horses are sometimes used in the bullfight. Arriving at Chateaureynard on July 14th Bastille Day, we participated in the celebration.
