Summer nights in southern France have a quality that fills me with wonder. The heat during the day can be too much to spend a lot of time in but it has its compensations. When the night falls, the earth releases the day’s heat, breathing a sigh into the air often filled with such sweet perfumes of wild herbs that it can be quite heady.
If you go off the beaten track here, up and down “petits chemins” deep in the countryside, you will find the ruins of old farmhouses and “cabanons” amongst fields that have old vines sitting like black statues, twisted and dark and beautiful amongst seas of wild flowers and grasses. This is just discernible on the left in the night light.
