Early Spring Landscapes in Provence

March 31, 2018 by ashleyt 1 Comment

May I brag for a moment? Just look at how beautiful these landscapes are, even at this time of year. Most of these pictures were taken with my phone, as many were impromptu pit spots on the side of the road. Which is your favourite photo? Let me know in the comments below.

Spring in Provence

I’ve noticed a sudden change this weekend in more visiters to the area. (Basically in the form of jostling for the parking spot outside my house).

Early Spring is wonderful time to visit Provence. Easter weekend is when many businesses re-open after the restful winter months. Although the poppies may not be out yet (soon), the evergreen Cypruses and olive trees colour the landscape as well as the flowering blossoms. I’ve learned to appreciate the low season pastel light in the villages because without leaves on the trees, you can see more clearly the beautiful architecture.

Here are some photos from my travels around the area in the last 3 weeks. Enjoy!

Yesterday evening, in the golden sunshine, we visited Fromagerie Roumanille in St Remy de Provence. The owners, Melanie and Jean-Marc, are truly passionate about their work. You can taste the cheeses, ice cream as well as the pork products. It’s rare to find farmers with cattle and pork here in Provence where goats are normally more popular. The cows 🐄 are curious and friendly! We got licked quite a lot 😂. This grass-fed, small herd are raised completely organic. You can buy their cheese and yogurt at their farm shop, the market in St Remy on Saturday, and the special fridge in the St Remy Intermarche just for them! Merci Melanie et Jean-Marc pour votre accueil ! Fromagerie roumanille @ Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
