A walk in Saint Remy de Provence during slow season

I love the quiet streets and I love being able to take my time and lift up my eyes to see the hidden beauties of Saint Remy.
Funny enough, as I was taking the picture of the commemorating sculpture of compose Charles Gounod (more to come about him), an accointance stopped by me and said "funny enough I knew about this but never saw it". He's been living in St Remy for just 30 yrs if not more...

So here are just a few pics of why I love living in St Remy de Provence (amongst many other things)....

  2. You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I feel
    I would never understand. It sort of feels
    too complicated and very broad for me. I'm looking ahead for your next publish, I will
    attempt to get the grasp of it!
