01 Oct Cote d’Azure

I was recently in Provence for a quick weekend break. It was a beautiful weekend. The BF and I stayed in the lovely seaside town of Bandol. It is of course very shi shi because it’s the south of France but it’s a little more down to earth than other towns along that coast. As soon as we arrived we could feel ourselves relaxing and shedding our London stresses.

I do love it down there. The colours are so magical, they make my eyes happy. It’s not called the Cote d’Azure for nothing. You can really see why artists are so inspired by the area. I’m thinking I’d like to go spend a month or 2 down there “working” (aka drinking rose and swimming in the sea).

Here are a few of photos of the amazing colours.

Beautiful blue and silver

I love the contrast between the white and the dark green of the water

Hibiscus and blue sky the best combination

I love the shadows and reflections in this picture

Your classic Provence street scene

gold and green

Boats and sky always a happy sight

Another classic scene, sky, tree and sea,

Even broken glass looks good with blue sky behind it

Variation on a theme

Gorgeous flowers
