Everything about Domaine de la Baume sounds and looks magnificent.

Just after reading the previous message, Facebook informed me that your birthday falls sometime during this coming week. I should also say that, just last week, a friend and I (who've both vainly prided ourselves on our ability to remember friends' birthdays) were grousing about how Facebook has ruined all that.....everyone automatically receives notices, so that no one can really get appropriate compliments and gratitude for being so thoughtful & loyal.<br /><br />----david Terry<br />www.davidterryart.comdavid terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009130338123162371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086987595843113662.post-41629243721616762662013-07-06T13:40:29.230+02:002013-07-06T13:40:29.230+02:00Well, you've got me sold, Ms. Mautner. I'...Well, you've got me sold, Ms. Mautner. I'll be asking Herve (who's from Tours and knows as much about Provence as I know about Missouri)to use (so to speak) you for our next trip.<br /><br />The last one, which was otherwise predictably pleasant, involved a disastrously weird and disorienting (if markedly expensive) hotel on the outskirts of Menerbes. I still have to give you the details on that one. Suffice it to say that I kept recalling my gradstoodint/waiter days, when I once worked at a Restaurant that was broke & closing & SUPPOSED to have closed the previous week. For some reason, the owner kept letting unwary customers in, and we had to act as though nothing were awry or going the least bit wrong. In retrospect, I find the memory amusing....but it's no fun when it's happening TO you in a Provence hotel.<br /><br />As for "And what would one do around Tourtour"?..<br /><br />I can't help but recall Peter Mayles's comment (repeated in several of his books) that the most difficult aspect of hosting visitors (including ones who've invited themselves) is convincing them that they don't HAVE to "DO" anything....they could simply stop the bustling-about, relax and enjoy themselves. Apparently, this is impossible for some folks.<br /><br />Still?....your suggestions sound wonderful. I've never seen the Gorges du Verdon; it's on my enterprisingly self-edited "to do" list.<br /><br />Thanks as ever for the informative and helpful posting,<br /><br />David Terry<br />www.davidterryart.comdavid terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009130338123162371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086987595843113662.post-65834861622843454892013-07-06T10:46:54.118+02:002013-07-06T10:46:54.118+02:00What a lovely idea - and yet another "coup&qu...What a lovely idea - and yet another "coup" for you, Julie. Just a short drive for us from the Cote d'Azur so we will definitely go for lunch during this summer - and maybe stay the weekend in your beautiful area of Provence. We never tire of being up there.
