Roman sights in Provence

Reminders of the Roman presence in Provence are everywhere. Here just standing in a field near the old town of Riez in inland Provence four columns from the time of Emperor Augustus.

Fabulous lavender everywhere

The fields of the Plateau de Valensole bursting with colour. Its summer in Provence

Beautiful Aix

The lovely old buildings of Aix - a real treat for the eyes whether at night with their atmospheric lighting or in the day catching the rays of the Provencal winter sun

Marseille always lovely, always interesting

The Vieux Port in the winter sunshine - lovely as ever. And the morning fish market and local shops always interesting whatever the time of year.

Winter colours in Provence

The light of Provence catches all the beauty of the countryside whatever the season.

Spring flowers in the Alpilles

A delightful stroll through the olive groves in the Alpilles area near St. Remy. Spring flowers in the meadows under a blue provencal sky.
