Latest Adventures
Provence Markets – Or Countryside Views?
There’s something idyllic about walking round a French Market, especially in Provence. But they are now so popular and often selling the same things, with the traders hopping to different towns (Bédoin on Monday, Vaison-Le-Romaine on Tuesday, Malaucene on Wednesday, Nyons on Thursday, Carpentras on Friday, Apt on Saturday and back to L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue or Coustellet nearby.)
But for me, the beauty and peace is in the countryside.

With charging stations that required endless apps and a shocking bill for a simple charge, I found myself questioning the practicality of EVs.
