This is our 9th summer in our little slice of rural french paradise. Our house, le Mazet, just outside of the pretty little medieval village of Entrevaux, nestled in the Alps about an hour from the coast, is where we migrate to for the summer. The sun is always shining, it's hot, the local produce is delicious, and the beautiful Cote d'Azur is less than an hour away by car. You can imagine why I was pretty excited to get down here and start tanning after weeks of hard work and exploring in Paris.
This is our lovely little village. We live about a 15 minute walk from the village on a plot of eight acres and although we probably don't visit the village enough it is still beautiful architecturally. It used to be on the border between France and Italy in the medieval days and the Citadel sat on top of the hill basically used to protect France. Not bad for a small village, which thanks to its cathedral, is technically a city.
I don't think I have ever appreciated our swimming pool as much as I do this year. Having been in Paris when it was 30 degrees and having no way to cool down it is so nice to be able to jump in the pool here when I get hot sunbathing.
