Cucuron Medieval village in the Luberon

Cucuron0014b We've just added Cucuron, one of our favorite villages in the Luberon, to Beyond. A lovely walled village, welcome cafés and restaurants and a very pretty pool (bassin) add to the attractions here. Our first visit to Cucuron was in 1997. Our most recent was a couple of days ago.

Silvacane, the Third Provencal Sister, in Beyond

Silvacane0021b We've added a Beyond page for the 12th-century Silvacane Abbey. Located in the wide Durance valley of the Vaucluse, northwest of Aix-en-Provence, Silvacane is known as one of the Three Provençal Sisters, three Cistercian abbeys built in the 12th century. The other two are Senanque Abbey and Thoronet Abbey.

La Garde-Freinet village photos added

Garde-freinet0065b We've added a lot of new photos to Beyond's La Garde-Freinet page. Admittedly our previous page was pretty lame, with only 3 small and ancient pictures. The current bunch of photos include some taken from a visit a few days ago along with some much earlier photos.

The annual Chestnut Festival in La Garde-Freinet happens the next two weekends: 18 and 25 October, 2009.
