It is raining here in Southwestern France but we are hoping for better skies in Provence in the next days. woody made it two days ago and is entertaining everybody with his personal touch on the French language! It is great. Tomorrow we are heading to Montpellier where our good friend Caroline, a good ol' former Saint louisian will come and pick us up to drive us to La Bourdille, a Provence country house where we'll stay for the next three days. There we'll find my nephew Fab ( on the video of the previous post) and his family ( Manon, his wife and three kids, and Magdalena their au-pair ). My Bro Jean will join us as well. The house is a family house on Manon's side, a "magnanerie" where silk worms were raised ( no kidding!). It is a beautiful old Provence house...you know a bit older than a few hundred years!
Today we'll fill up on good French food and wine as it is Easter after all and the "tribe" celebrates: 19 around the table, an average number around here!
Below is the place we should be climbing on Tuesday: Montagne Sainte Victoire near Aix en Provence, famously painted by Cezanne, and less famously by...me.
