I come from a small village in Provence, in southeastern France. It has to be my favourite part of the world. Sunshines all year round on the quietly growing fields. Wheat and vineyards, colourful wild flowers, an everlasting blue skies... This is my garden of Eden, where I go back as often as I can. But I am now living with my boyfriend and our cat in a lovely city named Valence, south of Lyons. It still has the distinct, laid-back southern vibe, but I do miss the countryside.

Right after the Champs, the park. It's delightful, fresh and overcrowded when the weather's right. Copyright FranceThisWay, date unknown. At the very back of the picture, on the mountain, one can try and distinguish...
Crussol castle! My favourite place here. A medieval castle, occupied from the XIth to the XVth century, deserted but never taken. It silently keeps watch on the city and is the "mothercastle" of my renactment's troup. Own shot, June 2013.
