5.0 out of 5 stars Lavender Fields in Full Bloom, January 30, 2003

It would seem that July is the best time to visit because of the lavender fields being in full bloom. If you are dreaming of visiting Provence for the first time or even the second time, this is well worth viewing.

Features:

Life behind the scenes
Festival of Avignon
Flamenco musicians and dancers performing in the seaside town of St. Maries
Art by Van Gogh
Artistry of a famous chocolatier
Greek and Roman monuments
Modern and Ancient art
Fresh seafood
Markets
Vineyards

Sparkling waters of the Mediterranean

I leaned interesting facts about how Greek sailors planted olive trees and remembered why I loved the olive oil I purchased there far too many years ago. It is honestly the best olive oil I have ever tasted and seems impossible to buy here, except occasionally I can get it through mail order.

Still dreaming of a return visit. How could you not fall madly in love with Provence!

Wonderful mouth watering look at one of the most beautiful areas of the world. Many doors, normally closed to the average tourist, are opened and you are welcomed into a newly discovered Provence. With tasty narriation and spendid cinematography, this film makes you want to book a trip -- Right Now!
