Tourtour — one of the prettiest towns I’ve seen. The views are spectacular and it feels like a little hideaway, tucked up in the high hills of the Haut Var, in Provence.
Cotignac, Haut Var: I really liked Cotignac and would almost consider this a nice place to live or spend a few months.
Haut Var: La Chute du Grand Baou — The pool looked fairly calm which was such a contrast to the force of the water that was pouring into it.

I am lucky to live right between Bandol & Sanary. If I walk to Bandol I walk by the beautiful open sea along the Baie de Bandol.

Provence in autumn is my favorite time of year. The perfect temperature & villages are still open but its calm after a busy tourist season.
The Summer Flowers of Provence: When Spring arrived in Provence, I remember being very excited one day as I passed my first Poppy field. It was the month of May. I gasped when I came across this field of red that appeared before me.
Toulon... is a must-visit bigger French city, which has so much to offer. I will definitely be going back.
