Ah....our paradises!

This fellow who does these wonderful travel posters for the south of France (and other places)  came up again as a suggestion on Pinterest so just had to post them.   Some of our all time favourite places there and one of Paris.  I just took some photos of our wonderful bougainvillea that greets us every day here and that I view while reading the paper.

This is where the university was where Jim taught.

We often drove up to Saint-Tropez on the weekend and stopped in at various flea markets along the way mainly to find pastis glasses,  pitchers,  etc.

And of course our absolutely wonderful little village where we lived when Jim was teaching those three winters.   Our visitors always asked us "Why are we going anywhere else when this is paradise?"  The Thursday morning market....the best in the world!

My favourite city in the world!

Hyeres was only about 15 minutes away from Carqueiranne and we went to movies there,  also a wonderful Saturday market,  lunches at the port,  and usually stopped to watch the amazing wind surfers at Almanarre along the way.

Many,  many wonderful lunches at the beach restaurants of Mourillon.
