[Aquanet] as long as we're thinking travel...

Pat,
You should definitely go further south to Provence.  Anywhere south of Avignon should be perfect in May.  We lived in Aix-en-Provence over 30 years ago and I can remember April being iffy, but by May it was gorgeous.  The summers are hot and dry - no humidity.  I really can't remember anymore when the lavender comes into bloom, but when it does it's a glorious thing to see -- might be later on in the summer.  Anybody know?  If you want to know some lovely little villages to visit, I'll write to you separately off the list.
Bon voyage,
Louise

Hi Pat
Save your memories to share since I will be leading a painting/winetasting/art appreciation cruise of 7 days along the Rhone in Provence plus 4 days in Aix en Provence July 26 to Aug. 7th.  
I am very excited and hope to get some good sketching/painting done too.

Hey, gang.

Following the tropical island query, I'll come up with one of my own: 
Has anyone on the list travelled in Southern France in May and/or June? 
I'm thinking specifically of the area from Limoges south to Bordeaux and 
then along the Canal du Midi. What is the weather likely to be like? Are 
there flowers blooming? Lavender? (I have no idea when it blooms, but 
I've seen photos/paintings of it in S. Fr.)

TIA
pat
