hollyhock and lavender lead past textured
doorways, lace curtained windows, and
through tiny portals, twisting down the hill to
networks of trails beneath the town. In the
valleys lavender fields, cherry orchards, and
olive groves offer paths and trails for the
hike to the next village, perhaps Bonnieux.

crushed olive tapinades spiced with basil
and they will supply the fresh fruit, goat
cheese, and a bottle of wine for the picnic
on the way to the next village.
