France Impressions is a blog about my travels throughout France. Travel is about embarking on journeys, discovering new places, its people, learning from others and in particular, learning about oneself. I believe travel is an art and I like to craft trips and tours around your personality, interests, desires and dreams. I undertake to open for you 'doors that are normally closed" thereby ensuring you gain access to exclusive experiences while introducing you to extraordinary personalities.

700th Anniversary Of The Popes in Avignon and a Room With A View at My Favorite Upscale BB in Provence
2009 and into 2010 is the 700th anniversary of the Popes in Avignon.
In the heart of Provence, just 25 minutes drive from Avignon, secluded in a romantic valley is the hilltop chateau home ( now a luxurious BB) of Chantal and Jean TOMASINO, Chateau La Roque. The nicest people you'll every meet in France!
With only 5 rooms, this BB is the gateway to the Luberon Valley and is a unique base from which you can explore!
Just to sit on the terrace and take in the valley below, after a full day of touring the area with a glass of wine in hand, is worth the price of admission!
Jean also is the chef here and cooks the most fabulous meals.
