My goodness, our paths have come so close, several times now. Hopefully, one day soon we will manage to be at the same place at the same moment. I would love that. <br /><br />And I have to agree that Oppedette is just about perfect. Did you see that there was a house for sale right on the square by the church?

Because in Provence and especially the Luberon, it is different each and every time I go--and I mean drastically different based on the season, the weather, the light. And it is such a rich region for discovery too. <br /><br />How right you are about the scents--we were so crazy for the lavender that still hung in the air even though it had already been harvested!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-14647781146048951302012-10-10T15:33:30.741+02:002012-10-10T15:33:30.741+02:00Oh how I enjoyed your tour around the tiny streets...Oh how I enjoyed your tour around the tiny streets in Luberon. Although I live in France, my few days visit to the Luberon area will always stay in my mind. The strong colours & the perfume of the wild herbs growing on the side of the roads, I will return if I can persuade my other half to re-visit, which is not on his list of to do things. He always says we should never go back, & I should always keep in my memory the things I loved about each place we visit. I will now follow your blog & enjoy all the places you visit.
