Have you read this book? If not, I highly recommend it. It was the inspiration of my retirement trip to the Luberon in the heart of Provence...Peter Mayle country! I would like to take you on a tour of the wonderful place where we stayed for "A Week in Provence." I found this mas online...a provençal home with all of its out-buildings… in Lagnes, near l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. It is an old silk worm farm from the 1700's that has been refurbished. Could it be more perfect? Upon closer inspection the little white things on the trees along the drive turn out to be...ESCARGOTS...SNAILS! Our apartment was around the corner... past the fountain... (can you hear the water?) through the big door...(psst....the key is under the flower pot)... into the courtyard... up the stairs to the left... past the old fig tree... onto the little landing... where we ate every meal when we weren't eating out (That's my best friend studying our guide books)... and into the living room/kitchen/dining room area. Don't you love the beams? Isn't this fireplace great? Here's my room...comfy bed...real euro shams..lol. The view from my room. I swear this plant grew nightly..."Feed me, Seymour!" There is a pool.... and even a cat...what else could you want?? Isn't this just the perfect place to use as your headquarters for a week in Provence? I hope you enjoyed this little vacation! I needed it myself...although my friend says that when you are retired, you are always on vacation! Pack your bags...I'm ready to go again!
