The Joys of Being French
The First Million Years or So
600 Years of Unwanted Guests
Middle Ages and the Turn of Provence
Wars of Religion and Hocus Pocus Popes
Oppression, Resistance, Quel Renaissance!
Debating The Age of Bad Taste ou Epoch Classique?
Post-War brings Socialist Mitterand and the Revival of Occitan
The Joys of Being French, Oui or N’est Pas?
C’est La Vie in The South of France
Santon Fairs in the Var et Renoir at Les Collettes
Columns, Columns, Columns and a Bridge
Troubadours Cansos, Love Story, La Californie of Europe
Hug the road winding the Cote d’Azur
Bordeaux, Beaujolais, frescoes in Peille
Sailing to Promenade du Soleil
Down the Rhone: Orange to Beaucaire
Malabar’s bulging biceps swell
Jagged Alpilles, rocky plains of the Crau, marshlands of the Camargue
For the Rhone is a Saturdays Child
On to Nimes, the Gard and Montpellier
Le Vin’s de Herault and Agde founded by the ancient Greeks
Narbonne, the Corbieres and the Aude, Castles and Cathedrals abound
Last but not least, there’s the Catalans of Roussillon
Getting There
By Air, By Coach, By Car, By Train
By Boat, By Bus, By Bicycling
The Song of Summer, Cicadas tune
Siesta under pine trees and game of boules
Tender is the Night with starry skies
Bouillabaisse, Aioli, Thirteen desserts
Estocaficada and onion tart
Before Laying a Bet, will it be
Holiday Destination or Life on the Riviera?
Like the Fitzgerald’s and Hemingway’s
You will not be the first to stay
Avec votre coeur dans la méditerranéenne.
