Passage Francais just returned from a three-week tour of Provence and the Riviera. It was an historical tour beginning with the Celts and Romans and ending with World War II. We saw prehistoric sites, Greek and Roman cities, medieval towns, abbeys and churches, all enhanced by fields of lavender, vineyards, and sunflowers, orchards of olives and fruits. We took time to browse in the Provençal markets as well as the museums dedicated to Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Sisley. There was plenty of time to eat and drink well, enjoy the wonders of French pastries and ice cream, shop, and interact with the locals. Who would want to come home?
