My wife and I are fanatical about Provence and during one stay in Lourmarin, we watched A Good Year one rainy evening and visited the locations the next day.
Thank you for filling in the details. Henri Staub. I am so happy you enjoyed my post about "A Good Year". We are watching the movie at this moment since we can't go to Provence because of all the Coronavirus restrictions. I first became aware of Provence after purchasing a book "the most beautiful villages of Provence" about I was quite captivated by the architecture and culture that was at the time a snapshot of a world i did not know existed in all its quaint charm.
Over the years I have looked at the pictures of French countryside for inspiration. However like you both "A Good Year" captivated me anew. Some films resonate with you and the house seemed oddly familiar. I think its overgrown nature and lots of green resonated with me especially living here in the Caribbean.
The film has since become one of the select few films i can look at and never fail to be captivated. It never fails to inspire me to undertake some new project in the yard. Your blog came up during a routine search for all things Provence and I have been reading your posts with great enthusiasm. Your blog has continued to keep my interest and growing love and respect for this slower, more tranquil way of life. So I encourage you to keep Provence alive in our hearts and minds for those of us who cant be there at this time.
I will continue to eagerly await your blogs which very much keep Provence alive in the hearts and minds of all us aficionados of Provencial culture. Please continue in your labour of love. There are some of us who respect and love you for your efforts. Do continue to take care of yourselves.
