BEATTIES BOOK BLOG NOW COMING TO YOU FAR FROM THE COAST
Thursday morning we drove the 200 odd km’s from Le Lavendou on the med coast to deep in the Provencal countryside to le Chateau des Alpilles about 5 kms outside the beautiful St.Remy de Provence. The drive was almost entirely by way of motorway and we went under both Toulon and Marsellie via long dual carriageway tunnels.
The Chateau has been converted into a 4 start hotel and is utterly gorgeous. A long tree-lined drive leads to the front of the Chateau and after unloading and checking in I parked our car about 100 metres away in a secure carpark. The we unpacked our cases and headed down to the pool-Annie to swim and me to read!
The grounds, several acres, comprise gardens, lawn, streams, mature trees and about 100 metres from the house the pool, pool house, sun loungers, thatch sun shades etc. All very very comfortable. 27-30C temps, no humidity and no wind. Glorious.
