Shop. shop, shop

Its just a delight pottering around the shops in Provence for those perfect holiday gifts or something to take home as a great holiday souvenir.  Whether its local pottery, interestingly different lamps, or even a miniature olive tree, and of course there is always the excellent local wine.
