After Mauritius last week, let me show you a few pictures from the place where I grew up: Callas, "Le coeur du Var". Located on a hill top, in Var, it is a very sleepy village, but I found, a fab place to grow up.
I have to pay tribute to my mum's garden! She spends so much time taking care of it...
If you ever have the possibility to go to the Cote d'Azur, make sure you also discover the "arriere pays" as we call it, there are so many lovely small villages to discover, with their markets, small restaurants serving loval food, caves or chateaux where you can stop for wine testing... more on that this summer!
Callas
Foutain where I used to hang out as kid
This leads up in the mountains, I used to love discovering and haven't lost that!
Left: some steps in the village & an old lavoir at the bottom. Right: typical view from the village
A few shots of my mum's garden!
Minette, the cat of the house! And also mine...
my parents have been looking after her for the last 13 years
There are quite a few things to talk about, I'll do that next time we visit my parents, but just one thing: some very good friends of mine opened their own "Cave" last year and are selling their wine. If you are in the region you shouldn't miss out on their rose which is fab and so refreshing. La Bastide du Plan.
La Bastide du Plan - located a little before the entrance of the village
