La Maison du Village has been a labour of love.
a FOUR-night stay at La Maison du Village?
I have another new idea for this year.
Yes, WIN a week staying at Le Petit Bijou in gorgeous Saint Rémy de Provence.
This is the last week to enter, the winner will be announced on the 19th December.
Saint Rémy is a beautiful Provencal village in the heart of Provence. Le Petit Bijou, our "little jewel box" is a small house situated in the centre of the town. It is the perfect place to stay to explore the wonders of Provence and equally it is heaven to stop, relax and never leave the village.

Here is how it works.
One of the most endearing features of A Good Year is the locations.
If you have a trip planned to Provence you might like to visit some of the areas where the movie was made.
A Good Year was filmed in the region of Provence called the Luberon.
And the dialogue,
Familiarity and rediscovery go together.
The familiar despite our best intentions can be taken for granted.
The most important "where to" in Saint Rémy de Provence is the most difficult to answer.
Where to eat? The question everyone wants to know other than, "where to stay".
What to wear for the French country weekend hasn't changed very much for me over the years.
Old favourites with some re-invention keep coming out of the closet.
The French countryside, especially in Provence, is casual.
Saint Rémy de Provence is a town full of surprises.
It is a town small enough to feel like a village but large enough to have everything and more.
Moody and misty was the feel in Saint Tropez on Saturday morning.
A summer party in Provence is my idea of heaven.
Maussane-les-Alpilles, sitting on the other side of the mountains is one of the prettiest villages in Provence.
Yes, I am biased because I am based in the Alpilles mountain area. The truth is, whether you are experiencing the Luberon or the Alpilles, Provencal villages are truly glorious.
I am spoilt and can visit restaurants out of season; summer time we tend to stay close to home. The season is busy with visitors, the heat means shade and swimming are front of mind and in general there is a laziness that consumes.
Languid, is the word I would use to describe summer.
If you are visiting Saint Rémy de Provence, then Maussane-les-Alpilles is a must. The drive that cuts through the Alpilles mountains is spectacular and there are some wonderful restaurants to enjoy.
Life in Provence would not be the same without Bistro du Paradou...
Summer in St Remy has come around quickly this year.
