Fontaine du Vaucluse in Autumn

Dah lama betul tak update blog ni..kesibukan dalam bulan November dan December ini..tetamu2 yang datang tetap diraikan..

Here.. I enclose the pictures of Fontaine du Vaucluse in autumn 2012..(November).

L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Sementara saya masih teringat dan terbayangkan tempat atau pekan antik ini, lebih baik saya paparkan di blog ini sedikit sebanyak kisah tempat ini.Bukan apa untuk kenangan..
Watery L'Isle-sur-la-Sorge,north of Cavaillon,was a marshy island in the middle of the Sorgue River.Di maklumkan aliran air dari pergunungan Fontaine-de-Vacluse(my favourite place)menuruni sampai ke L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue ini.The old town was built on piles some time in the 12th century.The river's numerous branches were channelled to surround it in a double..in places triple..ring of canals.There are still canals everywhere,and countless dripping waterwheels remain from the mills that once supplied silks,wools and paper to Avignon court.
Ever since a 'brocante'was first held in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in 1966.
Today,L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is famous for the biggest antiques and flea market outside Paris...but the old centre,sprinkled with fine Renaissance door ways and old town houses,is worth exploring.
 There are 4 main arcades open Monday to Saturday.Le Quai de la Gare,Hotel Dongier..
Bila saya singgah disini, O & O Co is my favourite shop,yang menjual barang2 cosmetic yang bahan-bahannya dari olives.

Pernah saya membawa beberapa VVIP ke L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue ini,oolala..yang terang lagi bersuluh,yang mengantuk disurungkan bantal dan yang paling tepat..yang kenal batu manikamnya..mereka memang meminati hasilan keunikan seni yang halus ini.
Many items reflect the south carved Beaucaire mirrors,faience from Apt and Moustiers,marriage wardropes. Reached across its own little canal,are more 'bohemian' in mood and good tend more towards 20th century items and collectables...art deco furnitures,vintage toys and garden furniture.

Every Sunday the permanent shops and arcades are joined by a flea market that sprawls along avenue des Quatre Otages.

Salon-de-Provence

Kami ke Salon-de-Provence pada hari Ahad so banyak kedai yang tutup.Hanya sempat meronda ronda sepanjang jalan utamanya di centre ville sambil mencari kedai makan halal untuk dejeuner pour nous.
Salon-de- Provence has been dubbed the"crossroads of Provence",for its central locations.
Terkenal dengan pusat perdagangan minyak zaitun ou olive oil and as far as I know that..Salon-de-Provence turned it into the heart of the soap industry.A few of the elaborate villas built by the soap barons survive. Mostly on and  around rue de la Republique.Marius Fabre has been in operation here since 1900.Hmmm... baru teringat savon de Salon-de-Provence ada butik nya di Galeries Lafayette di Marseille.

 

 

 The famous fontaine is Fontaine Moussue,since 16th century..

My hubby said that,a second famous inhabitant of Salon,Adam de Craponne,is commemorated by a statue on a small square across from the Hotel de Ville. De Craponne was 16th century engineer who brought fertility to the region by building an irrigation canal from the Durance river through the dry plains of the Crau and out into the sea.

Castres..Albi..Cordes-sur-Ciel..

Tempat2 yang kami lawati ini adalah old city dan mempunyai keunikannya tersendiri...

Treasures of architectures of XIV,XV,XVI centuries...le Tarn vous invite a la douceur..
