Blossom and the ventoux
Chairs are set outside, the sunshine is coming
Spoke Concierge
Welcome to our April newsletter and to an April that’s intermittent between fresh sunshine and the first feelings of warmth in the air, to a down right coldness that seeps in at night. Take a deep breathe and feel the Spring bursting out all around you. White and pink blossoms of the almond and cherry trees and deep purple Iris’s poking above ground and filling the grass banks at the sides of the road.
Everyone is getting ready for the season, when families and friends start to flock into this magical part of the world. Restaurants are starting to open their awnings, cafe chairs are being put outside and pool shops, les magazines des piscines” in the towns are getting visited each day by maintenance crews as they gear up the workings of their private pools.
