We're very pleased to be included in a new guide for travellers heading to Provence. It's a terribly grand travel information website and Rebecca has put together some good material on places to go and visit. It's gratifying to be singled out. The guest Provence expert - Anthony Peregrine - has some good tips and jolly editorial: "And there are aspects of Britain I miss – Sandwich Spread, Felicity Kendall, Preston North End and, not least, the newspapers. No paper in France has the variety, depth, wit and colour of the Sunday Times or Daily Telegraph, to pluck two examples at random"
Writes Rebecca: "Go-provence.com is a site full of travel tips and practical information from someone who has the experience and knowledge of visiting Provence."
When we went to Nice for the first time under our own steam, we had to take pot luck on hotels, but Rebecca has put together a cribsheet of hotels in Nice. "The best have warmth, charm and perhaps a garden, instead of marble, gold-leaf, and deference," says Anthony.
HI Roger, thanks for stopping by Chic Provence...in answer to your question about my blog and my love of Provence....
I have lived there, my husband grew up there, and I’m back there as often as possible from here in the Bay area...(which also isn’t such a bad place to live!!)
I adore that region and try to incorporate the essence of life there into my design and my blog... We came close to buying a mas very similar to yours in Bagnol-en-Foret, in the Var, not too terribly far from you..(as far as I’m concerned, your mas is in the best spot...)
The house needed tons of work but was wonderful...we had to get back here for business...
I am quite happy to be in the company of your incredible blog on SimonSeeks, and hope to meet you one of these days.. I would like to exchange links with you if you would like..also I looked hard to find your email address but couldn't spot it..if you like to take this offline, I'm kit@kitgolson.com
a bientot!
Kit
