France de Sud

6:10am: Bonjour! That’s what you get for waking up early at camping.

Leaving the French Alps region and traveling south. Lunch break in Uzes. Just west of the Provence lies a storybook sunshine-y village, wrapped in golden hued limestone and perfect for flaneurs — Uzes. We were delighted by the laid back little honeypot.

Arriving at the holiday house in the Ariège. I like that place, it’s quiet and just the minimum needed to have a peaceful time.

Vacation in France de Sud. Up to >40C – siestas, a dip in the water and ice-cream is all what helps to survive the day until it cools a little down for a nice cold glass of rosé. It’s summer! No bed duvet needed. Mosquito bites inclusive. Of course.

The South
Daily siestas for all of us.

La Bastide sur-l’hers. Camon. Mirepoix. Carcassone.

Mirepoix – one of the favorite little towns.
Mirepoix market.
Charlie.
So refreshing: a dip in the lake in beautiful surrounding.
Carcassone.
Espresso & tarte au citron, followed by a glass of vin rosé – that’s France 💜

Everything is a little more relaxed and laid back in the south of France.

Daily late morning strolls to the little bakery for croissants and pain au chocolat.

„Pause Gourmande“ ☕️
Beautiful & delicious: birthday dinner.
I don’t want this plate to end… délicieux!

Spending a week with hubby’s family, Charlie’s new favorite drink: a cup of tea with milk.

A stopover between Montpellier & Avignon – or the end of our road trip in the southern Provence. Here’s the Camargue, a magical marsh area, with beautiful untouched nature, wildlife and bright pink salt lakes. Magnificent.

Once more, I’m very impressed about the diversity of the French countryside. Amazing.

Our camping spot last night: surrounded by olive trees. Gorgeous.
9am: Bonjour. It’s just the flamingos and I. Spectacular.

That was a very much needed relaxing vacation. After our obligatory shopping, we are on the way back home, getting ready for my godchild’s wedding.

Arevoir, France de Sud!

Leaving with a lavender scent in the car. Mmmhhhhh.
