some frequently asked questions:

Emergency numbers while in France - including medical, fire, police, anti-poison center and an English speaking crisis line. Suggestion: print the list of numbers and keep them handy.

Wine in Provence:
http://www.beyond.fr/wine/index.html

Organic winery. Le Grand Jaquet. 2 minutes from La Peyriere. To get there, you turn right (direction Carpentras) when you leave the property. When you come to the stop sign, you turn left (the opposite of going to Carpentras). When you once more come to a stop (at the end of that small road), you take a sharp right, and then immediately take the first driveway left. You have reached Le Grand Jaquet. Very nice people, and organic wines - available for tasting.

Vincent Van Gogh:
Although Arles claims it is Van Gogh's mecca, the truth is that nothing is left of him and Arles has NO pictures of Van Gogh. He painted while at the asylum in St Remy de Provence.

And who are we and how did we get started with La Peyriere,
stone villa with pool in the heart of Provence?

It's part of an adventure neither of us ever imagined.
Philippe worked in senior management, Elsa as a professor.
And then we decided to take on La Peyriere.
We are planning to write much on this - but for now just to say
we have met great guests and intend to stay with La Peyriere
for a long time.


For more of Philippe's experience of Provence,
you can turn to his articles,
My Provence - Tamed and Wild and
My Provence - Mistral Wind of Wrath

For those of you wondering, why so many repetitions,
is that the way you talk, the answer is no.
It has to do with search engines -
they like the main topic words
to be given over and over, in a certain ratio
(as in a recipe, add one egg for every two cups of flour).
I do like - and write - all kinds of poetry.
So this is one way I've had some fun -
in this case with Provence info, Provence info ,

never enough Provence info -
while also doing my best to satisfy the web spiders.
