May - an incredible month in Provence

The weather, has almost become the biggest talking point in France, but then there is still food, wine and Sarkozy!
Rainfall is at an all time low, temperatures this week in the 30's.
The cherries are plump, almost purple in colour and at least 3 weeks earlier than normal.

Something clients frequently ask is how far are we located from the village.
Well here is a picture I took from our house of the chateau which is at the top of the village, which is about 800 metres away.

Our boule court is being put to good use. I caught Richard, one of our guests from the USA getting in some practice.

Whilst the new pool at Les Cypres is nestling in perfectly to the surrounding deck and view.

We currently have Karen's Mum visiting with a long standing family friend 'Fred' his first time in Provence and nearly 80 years young - so we took him to one of the village land marks - the Moulin
And then  we go on to the viewing platform at Gordes

The Luberon is also famous for the Lavender which is showing it's first sign of coming into colour

Whilst the roses are in perfect shape producing magnificent blooms!

We have been invited to enter a competition for pictures of our roses - and will submit this one - comments welcome!


And some amazing light on the Luberon in the early evening

May is certainly a wonderful month to be in the Luberon!
