Provence Tayl's

Where exactly are we in France is a question that often comes up! Well we live in the Vaucluse (county), facing the Luberon Mountain (1800 meters). We are 90 minutes drive to the coast at Marseille which leads to the Cote D'Azur. If we head North East we are in the Southern Alps, which is where we went for 3 days last week. Just over 3 hours drive away, the snow was fantastic giving perfect skiing conditions.



We were lucky enough to have the use of an apartment with some friends 'gratuite' which made it all the more appealing.It was literally on the slope enabling us to ski in and out directly from the apartment.


Being mid week and out of the school holidays the slopes were very quiet and peaceful.


This is me shortly before I decided to dive rather than ski 25 meters down a red run curtailing my skiing for the day. Having fallen over only the week before on our land hurting my ribs this fall only cemented the pain I had already been in.!



Despite us trying to persuade Karen the benefits of skiing she was looking rather warm and snug( or should that be smug) staying off the slopes and walking instead.
