| How can your French love
affair be complete if you have never courted the Valley of the Kings? The Loire Valley, often styled the Garden of France, land of the great Châteaux, ancient abbeys, rugged fortresses staring imperiously over the wandering waterways and pretty little villages sprinkled along them is the heart of modern France. |

| Home to poets, artists, philosophers and Kings, this living tapestry is so rich that, like the fine wine grown there, it is hard to ignore! | ||||||||||

| But then mesmerising us in a
totally different way we have… Provence. It’s a mystery. What quality is it that is so compelling about Provence? |
|
|||||||||
| The rugged beauty, the
vestiges of Roman architecture, its Impressionist artistic heritage, the
great wine and food, the lively outdoor markets, the friendliness of the
people who have retained the art of living, the lavender fields basking
in the warm Mediterranean sun all conspire to exert an irresistible
appeal. The Romans loved it, Cézanne and Van Gogh fell under the spell, and we can’t resist going back, every time… Yes, these places were wonderful but… Yet…there was something not right, some missing ingredient in an otherwise perfect experience. |
