On our April tour, the days were a blend of discovering Provence; creating with flowers; shopping for antiques, browsing local markets and enjoying many wonderful meals. As you may expect from an almost uniquely feminine group, there was lots to talk about. I was co-hosting the tour with my friends Sandra
