24.01.2022 Beloved Carcassonne One time in that region, we travelled for 10 days/nights in a car. Super! We covered so much ground. However, every *single place we only spent just one night , always moving ... Except Carcassonne. Woot! 2 nights! One whole day in-between. Cruising canals + fabulous chateau.... Wo! What a gorgeous place to unwind. Have you been there? #riverboat #rivercruise #carcassonne #chateau See more

23.01.2022 This is one of my all-time favourite photos. I loved it in the beginning, and I first learned how to use Photoshop with it (very basic editing). Now I just use the filters on my iPhone. Yay! It’s one of 5 digital downloads available when you sign up for my newsletter. https://mailchi.mp/0df036303070/allthingsfrench. XX... #uzes #uzes #favourite #favorite

22.01.2022 #missingfrance I learned this morning that Qantas may be unlikely to fly to Europe before the end of 2021. I am heartbroken. To live another year and not see my beloved France literally brings me to tears. I haven’t been in Paris for at least three years, and was certainly intending to go this year, if not next year.... Did you have plans to go pre-Covid?

21.01.2022 Love these colours! X #shutterlove #shutters

21.01.2022 In 2009, I took my 15 year old boy @_amuel on a Grand European tour. I spent AUD $28,000 on that trip (about 30% of my total cash assets at the time) in 7 weeks! Worth every cent I remember this day particularly. We had landed late morning (on a Mediterranean cruise - woot!) in beautiful Mykonos.... OMG!! Everyone else (all 2000+ of them ex-ship) just hung out by all the restaurants and markets, but my son and I immediately started to walk up through the streets and towards a clear vantage point of the harbour. Yay! Just one or two blocks from the harbour - 10 years ago - we were delightedly walking along pristine stone and white pathways, with perfect whitewashed walls everywhere. Momentarily, I was looking through open doorways into intimate family moments. Tiny places, exquisite and clean. By the time we walked down the hill back to the harbour, lots of little restaurants and bars had opened up. It was so fun! I loved it there. This was me a decade ago playing with an App on my phone. ‘Color Splash’ - still available. Black & white with a feature colour. I still love the colour of this top, but it doesn’t fit me any more. Bon week-end a vous mes amis See more

20.01.2022 Au sujet de Tourettes-sur-Loupe. J'adore ce village. #tourrettessurloup

18.01.2022 An interesting read, no doubt! Have you been to any of these places? XX

17.01.2022 Tonight I watched an episode of ‘The World’s Greatest Palaces’ (on SBS Australia), featuring the Château de Fontainebleau. Such is my naughty memory that I *barely remember visiting there in 2016, and I admit to not recognising many of the scenes. My travelling companion remembered much more than me. ... I couldn’t even actually recall whether I had taken many photos of le Château, or even what device I may have taken them on! Turns out I’ve got scores of photos! I’ve just downloaded these few tonight to post, but there’s loads more! Yay.

17.01.2022 Are you a shopper? You’ll love Lourmarin. I’m a #minimalist myself, and I don’t really shop, but even I can appreciate all this beauty. #lourmarin #shopping #loveshopping #shoppinglove XX

16.01.2022 Some of the most beautiful features of Arles are the Roman architectural buildings that still exist in the town today. It’s truly amazing to be able to walk amongst genuine, beautiful, Roman history, reaching back 2000 years into another age and culture. Read more:

15.01.2022 It’s been such a long time since I posted on social media. At least it feels like that. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for reaching out to me and offering support, love, and encouragement during this very difficult time Time for a francophile fix. ... One of my favourites. Tourrettes-sur-Loup. Have you been lucky enough to discover this beautiful village? XX See more

15.01.2022 Mes amies, I am saddened to announce that my planned September 2021 Tour to the French Riviera is cancelled Qantas has announced that they won’t be flying exAustralia until at least October this year. I am *so sad, but not as sad as I would have been last year, thankfully.... Last year, I literally *cried when I thought about not seeing France. This year, I’m a bit more together, thank goodness ... The perfect year to build my Tiny House! Yay! @theluxuryofsimplicity #tinyhome #tinyhouse #thow #tinyhouseonwheels #legalizetiny #tinyhouseliving

12.01.2022 River cruising in #carcassonne. Have you been there? Tip: *Do take a trip on the water ... XX #riverboat #canal #canalcruising

11.01.2022 Tonight, I’m in the midst of saying goodbye to my beloved pussycat Spencer. I literally just discovered on Tuesday that he’s dying Today, he has hardly eaten. Maybe a few days? ... #crying #bestfriend #spencer See more

11.01.2022 On the subject of Corsica, and light...X

10.01.2022 I shared this photo as part of 10 images about a week ago. #tourrettessurloup. Have you been there? This one got nearly a quarter of the total likes for the whole post. Woot! I love this photo. Apparently my friends do too. Merci toujours. ...

06.01.2022 Corsica. Have you been there? In 2018, a dear friend treated me to a *week in Corsica! This was Calvi. The whole island is an amazing mix of wonderful contrasts. XX #corsica #calvi #harbour #sunset

05.01.2022 Have you seen ’A Good Year’? Russell Crowe (yum ). Marion Cotillard perfectly carries off such a name as ‘Fanny Chanel’! My Provence Tour is sketched around this theme. This movie, it’s spectacular locations, plus all those exquisite Luberon delights. Who knows if we will get there next year?... Send me an email if you want to get on my Insiders List. Maximum 7 ladies. I love this line in the movie! Don’t you? XX #luberon #agoodyear

05.01.2022 I admit to loving this image. I’ve seen various shots of this place, so I had to hunt it down and take my own. Any guesses in where this is?

03.01.2022 Rest In Peace my angel. Thank you for all of your messages over the last 10 days. I usually answer everyone, *you know that. Sorry if I didn’t get back to you. XX I am bereft. I promise you, I read them ... and appreciate you. XX

02.01.2022 I distinctly remember the very first time I went to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (even with my shocking memory). Wow! I couldn’t stop taking photos! I was completely entranced. The beautiful stone, the range of colours in the shutters, the cleanliness, and especially the quiet places ... where I could be alone to contemplate all this beauty.... Have you been St Rémy?
