Travelling along the routes of Provence, the author and photographer both fell in love with a church hidden behind an olive bush, a stream trickling lazily, or the odours of a market. Sleeping in sheets perfumed with lavender brings sweet dreams : and, once awakened, they can be revived by exploring these texts, in looking deeply into these images of golden stone, enchanted valleys, radiant villages and living ruins.

Another way of discovering what, perhaps, one already knew : the marvels of one of the most beautiful regions of France... Provence.
