Saint Restitut {Provence}

It was fantatsic to stay with my French friends, Delphine & Christophe at their home in Provence.
I met them last year when we were all part of the Type 1 Diabetes Kilimanjaro Expedition.
They live in the cutest, most photogenic village called Saint Restitut.
Our days were filled with market trips, lounging in the garden playing boules & drinking pastis....
And of course cycling the mythical Mont Ventoux (Ben did it twice in one day! Crazy!)
We were also lucky enough to catch the lavender in bloom - you could smell it everywhere.

  3. Hi Sally,
    We're driving through France, from French Riviera to Paris in September. Would you recommend Saint Restitut as a stop? Or anywhere else in between?
    Trip looks fab!

    1. Hi Kate,
      Saint Restitut is tiny & actually has no where to stay - we were at a friends place! Sain Paul Troix Chateau is the closest larger town so that could be a good stop - it has a fabulous market too! We also stayed in Bedoin last time we went which was gorgeous! Hope that helps x
