After what seems like weeks of soul-destroying rain, the sun was out today. I took a walk with my camera. Sorry I haven’t taken many photos since I’ve been here. The rain is part of it, but also, I’m just immersed in work. My body is in the South of France, but my mind is in New York City, where my novel takes place. Anyway, given that I’ll only be here for another month (sniffle), I vow to take more photos to capture the beauty of this place.
This town has a newer part (as seen in the photo above) and then the old town, which is surrounded by a wall. The apartment building I’m living in is more like the one in the photo above. Below is a photo of the old town. People actually live in all these buildings. There’s a small English-language library here, just behind where I’m standing:
Since this town is on a hill, there are many places with panoramic views:
Here is a shot from the main town square – in person it looks like an Impressionist painting. Around town, there are signs that show famous paintings in front of the landmarks they depict.
Most days I go to a cafe to read or write for a while, which helps me maintain my sanity while I’m immersed in a big project:
And here is the view from my table in the other direction – there’s the church and produce stand [I think the church looks more Italian or Spanish]:
And finally, this lovely sign in the park:
Leaves little to the imagination, eh? You should see their “Watch out for pedestrians!” sign.
