What is Provence?
Is Provence the lavender fields in front of the 12th century cistercian abbey of Senanque? In every tourist shop, you can find postcards of the lavender in front of the abbey even though the lavender is only there 45 days during the year.
Here is the picture I took yesterday:
Or is Provence, the small medieval villages without any tourists because there are no shops, ice cream places, souvenirs, etc…Just the cicadas and the sunflowers. Oppede le Vieux is one of them:
There is no right or wrong answer. Provence is what ever you like. I know what my Provence looks like. Of course!!!!!!The moto of my company is “Don’t be a tourist, be our guest.” Check my site at www.frenchescapade.com
My name is Jackie Grandchamps. In 2003, I founded French Escapade, offering painting, cooking and cultural tours for only 8 guests each time. "Don't be a tourist, be our guest" is the moto and spirit of my company.

Through this blog, I will provide information about the countries I organize tours in, like France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, California but also some stories from my guests on the tours.

The photographs are so beautiful. I’d love to see this country side of France. I’ve never seen such a beautiful Lavender Field…
I should be your guest on my next visit to France. And more importantly I should come on a better climate. Last time, I was there in December – Freeeezin…. :) :)
Btw, when I visited Paris, this app helped me out so good in Paris, you should check this out! Its an offline Metro RER map so I saved pretty much on Taxi and got lotta info on Tourist Places! And its really a cheap app too!!!
