Les Baux-deProvence is a stunningly beautiful, and much-visited, French village. It runs along a steep hillside in the south of France, not far from Arles.
It has stunning views, both out and in, with its fortified chateau well worth a clamber.
The greens were tinged with dry yellow in the battle against the sun on my summer visit
But nature perseveres. And humans do too – adding some glorious splashes of colour around town.
Though not everything is real!

So love Les Baux-de-Provence. Such memories but the flowers weren’t there when I visited I don’t think. Great post Debbie. Love being lured into the ending 🙂

Brian, we have probably bumped into each other somewhere without knowing!
It’s a wonderful village and I was there mainly to see a Henri Cartier Bresson exhibition – part of the main Arles photo exhibition. What a setting for one of my favourite photographers.

Wouldn’t that have been funny. After a big day touring around my camera ran out of battery there. Indeed a fab place for an exhibition

They are all gorgeous and I wouldn’t have known that any of these were fake, I still don’t know which ones are the pretenders. Good one Debbie!
