Provence with my new group of women
From Donna, one of our guests on the tour to Provence.
Greetings – so far, my 2 days in Provence have been wonderful. Travel day was tiring, but that is to be expected (I suggest arriving a day early to adjust; airport hotel would be fine). The accommodations are quite nice and our rooms are spacious, especially by French standards. The food served has been very good.
Today we were out and about – visiting a farm, harvesting ingredients for our menu (salad, ratatouille and fresh peach sorbet) and cooked everything. We toured and tasted wines and a surprise excursion to a chocolatier shop). Looking forward to the rest of the tour!

You all look absolutely darling in your Provence hats, and the weather looks like it is cooperating nicely! Tres bien!
