Quarter of a century old, Amelia's birthday present of a road trip to me around Provence was a gastronomical and visually stunning treat. A thousand photos painstakingly reduced to meet the 150 photo limit does no justice to replicate the beauty of the French countryside and coast. For the braver ones, go to my website to view all the pictures. Driving through the Luberon, which inspired Peter Mayle and all the way down to St Tropez, which inspired many a Hollywood starlet, city life suddenly doesnt seem as appealing as it once was.
