Lavender Fields, Provence, France: Nicknamed ‘the blue gold,’ a tour around the lavender fields of Provence is one of the best things to do in France! Fine lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is the typical lavender of provence; you won’t find fine lavender anywhere else in the world! The fine lavender grows above an altitude of 800 m, and it is a small plant with a single flower per stem. Traditionally used for medicinal properties, fine lavender became the region’s ‘blue gold’ when the great perfume makers in Provence started using it for their best perfumes...Provence is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France.

Retreat to Nice, France By Jeff Stanford, 2024 Buy prints at: https://jeff-stanford.pixels.com/
Retreat to Nice, France. My friend Isabelle is busy in Paris and invited me to stay at her apartment in Nice. She knows how much I hate winters in Sweden and anyway needed someone to look after her cat. She always leaves me with fresh cut flowers, especially Pink Peonies. It is warm enough to have the window open looking out over the harbor.

Triumphal Arch of Orange, France (No. 1)
Orange  is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. It is about 21 km (13 mi) north of Avignon, on the departmental border with Gard, which follows the Rhône and also constitutes the regional border with Occitania. Orange is the second-most populated city in Vaucluse, after Avignon. In 2019, it had a population of 28,772.
The settlement is attested as Arausio and Arausion in the first and second centuries AD, then as civitas Arausione in the fourth century, civitas Arausicae in 517 (via a Germanized form *Arausinga), Aurengia civitatis in 1136, and as Orenga in 1205.
The name Arausio can be explained as the Gaulish ar-aus(i)o- ('temple, cheek'), itself derived from an earlier Proto-Celtic *far-aws(y)o-, which literally means 'in front of the ear'. It is cognate with the name of other ancient settlements, including Arausa, Arausia, Arausona (Dalmatia) and the nearby Oraison (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence).
Roman Orange was founded in 35 BC by veterans of the second legion as Arausio (after the local Celtic water god), or Colonia Julia Firma Secundanorum Arausio in full, "the Julian colony of Arausio established by the soldiers of the second legion." The name was originally unrelated to that of the orange fruit, but was later conflated with it.
