Where to buy in France (2) - the south coast
Following my last "where to buy in France if you don't fancy the charente" on Mayenne I thought that I'd do a short piece on two fantastic spots on the south coast.The first is Aix-en-Provence. It's a university town, famous for its culture. It hosts two significant music festivals each year.Musique dans la rue is held each June and does what it says on the tin - as classical, jazz and popular concerts are held in the packed streets and squares.The main Festival is held in...

Allow me to assist you in imagining the scene: under the austere auspices of the...

The Scorpions Rocking the Hotel Llao Llao Like a Hurricane
Written by Shanie I thought Jamie was joking when he first told me. “Scorpions are playing a show at the Hotel Llao Llao!” But the excitement on his face showed that this was all seriousness.

The cinema in Saint Tropez
Popped over to Saint Tropez yesterday evening to see the new Clint Eastwood film Invictus. It was showing the Renaissance cinema on the Place des Lices. It's the true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar, to help unite their country. Both Michele and I gave it 4 stars.As Mr and Mrs L are in South Africa at the moment I thought it was quite an appropriate film choice. If you want to find out what films are showing in English...
