過去這一個月, 有點小忙, 忙著請客與被請、忙增添與佈置小窩、忙著逛其它普羅望斯小鎮...所以一直沒發新文。
首先先來看看我們去逛Provence Prestige 2011的照片。
這是我第一次逛Provence Prestige, 此展覽集合了各式各樣的普羅望斯商、產品, 從橄欖油、香料、南法葡萄酒、普羅望斯香草及沿生產品、tapenade橄欖鯷魚抹醬、l'eau-de-vie (由水果或穀物或香草甚至葡萄酒蒸餾而成的酒, 40-55%酒精濃度)、傳統手工生火腿、各式手工甜品、果醬...還有當地畫家、藝術家、普羅望斯陶瓷器、布料等等一長串的商、產品。
此展覽每年一次, 約為11月底於Arles 阿爾勒; 有興趣的可以去Provence Prestige的網站看詳情。逛完此展後可以到阿爾勒市中心逛逛, 有梵谷的畫廊、競技場、聖誕市集(於各城市市中心, 11月底左右起)等等。

Provence Prestige 2011
Over the month, we have been busy both receiving and visiting friends, redecorating our little apartment and driving around the Provence....So not much time to refresh my blog.
Here comes the first refreshment!
It was my first time visiting The Provence Prestige and it is very interesting to see all sorts of Provençal produces and artists gathering in one event. Almost all producers offer free tasting, ranging from olive oil, spice, wine, tapenade, l'eau-de-vie, artisanal cured ham, confectionary, confiture and the list goes on and on. There are also local / Provençal style artists, pottery and fabrics.
This event is hosted annually in November. We had an invitation for 2 persons, otherwise the cost of entrance is about 6 euros each. Please visit http://www.provence-prestige.com if you are interested.
Arles is also a very nice place to visit, La Fondation Vincent Van Gogh d'Arles, arena, Christmas market (available in most city centres from late November) and etc.
Please scoll back for photos from our visit to the Provence Prestige 2011 in Arles.
