Every year the owners of Les Oliviers, in Bédoin, spend the off-season improving a new aspect of their rental property. This year has seen a major addition in the building of a summer house by the pool. As can be seen in the photo below it can be used to enjoy the evening breeze after a day of sun bathing.

"Provence is one of those magical destinations which travellers dream about - blue skies, warm days, balmy evenings, healthy cuisine, spendid architecture, a fascinating heritage and the wonderful sing-song accent of the local inhabitants, the Provençaux. It is almost as much a state of mind as a geographical area! "
This splendid defintion of Provence was written by Paul Shawcross. An enthusiast traveller, photographer and francophile, who has developped a very useful smartphone app for when you are visiting Provence or even planning your stay and culinary expeditions.
Just Provence looks forward to featuring Paul in our upcoming online publications.
