WE SPENT A WEEK IN THE APARTMENT ADJACENT
TO THE HOUSE, AND FOUND IT CHARMING AND
ROMANTIC. WHAT NEEDED TO BE MODERN
(KITCHEN, BATH, HEAT) WAS MODERN AND WHAT
NEEDED TO BE AUTHENTICALLY PROVENCAL WAS
JUST AS PERFECT. WE OPENED OUR SHUTTERS TO A
180-DEGREE VIEW OF VINEYARDS, CYPRESS TREES
AND WINDING ROADS THAT LED US TO WINE-
TASTING EXPERIENCES, AND WE KEPT TIME BY THE
CHURCH BELLS JUST ABOVE US IN THE TINY
VILLAGE. WE SHOPPED AND COOKED LIKE LOCALS,
THANKS TO THE BUTCHER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
WALK AND THE BOULANGERIE A BLOCK FURTHER.
TRUTH BE TOLD, WE HAD TO "DECIDE" EVERY
MORNING WHETHER TO GO TOURING OR SIMPLY
STAY AND ENJOY OUR COZY APARTMENT. (HMM.
BIG CLUE THERE THAT I'M CALLING IT "OUR"
APARTMENT!)
WE'LL BE BACK!
