lunch out in January

Many of our regular visitors have met Karen's Mum Joan who has just spent New Year with us and staying as always to celebrate her birthday on the 8th.

And being such a beautiful January day we headed off to the coast, stopping briefly on route at the famous Gordes viewing platform where there are spectacular views over the Luberon valley.

Cassis is about two hours drive from home, and it was a hive of activity.
In fact, absolutely buzzing!

A more tranquil view of the boats in the harbour.
We had a really good casual lunch in this restaurant, Le Perroquet, great service and open all afternoon for lunch, quite unusual in France.
First one of the day!

The ladies considering whether to dip their toes in the sea!
Cassis has a very active Boules club which you can watch in the warm winter sun.
Slightly later in the day, pre lunch drinks have changed to afternoon tea or Rose!

On the beach in January!
It really is a fabulous time of the year to holiday in Provence!
