The Sun in France Stays Mainly in the South!

St. Paul and Vence in Provence

St. Paul in the Provence region of France



A stellar, warm day spent in St. Paul and Vence that are two Medieval hill towns in southern France. St. Paul is touristy but Vence is a typical and traditional French village. The walls and surfaces of the architecture sing with age and history, and I long to live in them and with them. The Matisse Chapel in Vence is a quiet masterpiece of the master of the line. The 14 stations of the cross are simple and profound. No photographs allowed so I can't back up my claim.

Tonight we ate dinner as the sun was going down near the ramparts of St. Paul, and I ate a veloute of cauliflower with citron and black sesame seeds that was light enough to fly.
