A week in Provence

We just returned from the most glorious week of meandering and feasting through the ruggedly enchanting region of Provence. With perfect weather on our side - not to mention lavender in bloom, village markets and few tourists - it was the perfect time to get away from Paris.

Monday: A week in Provence

Margaritas and coffee

And so life returns to neighborhood hangouts.

Deux églises

Atop Montmartre, two churches:

Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, and behind, the cupola of the Basilica of Sacré Coeur.

A safe distance

Three plates away from each other.
