Flowers and perfumes of Provence - 31 authentic photos from 1970 to 2000

Flowers and perfumes of Provence - 31 authentic photos from 1970 to 2000

Hello everyone and welcome to Provence! ☀️This is Jeanne, a volunteer with the Passadoc association. Our Italian volunteers, Brian and Alex, left us at the end of July in search of the lavender fields of Provence.

I stepped in to help François organize tours of Maison Abbe and launch the Provence Heritage page on Instagram. 

By the way, are you following the new Instagram page?

All in all, my stay here will last two months, and I'm looking forward to discovering the region and meeting its people.
I've read that in France, we officially mark the end of summer and the beginning of autumn on September 21. 

Shepherds of Provence: last chance to visit the exhibition

🌙 It was the last Nocturne des Créateurs 2023

A souvenir. In 2023, we had a strong presence at Roquebrune's famous "Nocturne des Créateurs". This market took place on Tuesday evenings in July and August 2023. From our stand, we roamed the streets, chatting with locals and tourists alike about the rich history of Provence and the mission of Abbe Photo. It was a great success, and a good way to spread the word about the association. We organized tours in English and French on Tuesday evenings (many thanks to Nadia for her invaluable help)! Many thanks to the teams who make this event possible (especially another Emilie!).
