Above is one of Van Gogh's famous portraits, "Pin et Figure", 1889). This painting translates to Pine and Figure. Van Gogh painted more than a hundred pictures in one year while in the former Francisan monastery hospital, Saint Paul de Mausole. While on tour, we spend one morning at the mental asylum (currently still treating patients) learning of Van Gogh's last year of life. One can only guess what feelings were running through his mind?

We cook, we cruise on the Mediterranean to visit the famous French Calaques, we lodge in three 4☆☆☆☆ hotels, we explore medieval villages and art museums, we shop several French markets and lastly we explore the backroads of southern France with our own private local driver.

Here's my all-time favorite quick lunch in Provence (except for pizza), the famous Croque Monsieur! It's such a classic French sandwich. Now, there is another version of this sandwich, the Croque Madam. Madam is served with a fried egg, ham, and belchmel sauce. Either way, you can't go wrong.

How exciting to visit for the first time the ancient site of Glanum! Glanum was originally a Celtic settlement at the foot of the Alpilles mountains. After the Roman conquest, it became a grand thriving city of temples and public baths. Today, you can walk around at your own pace and imagine life as it was in Roman times.
