A Saturday before Christmas (JUST!!)

This Saturday was an interesting day. We had nothing planned and were expecting to spend a lazy day at home. But we ended up having a full afternoon and early evening. We went to an outdoor party with a living crib and provencal music at the Pigeonnier behind our house. It was chilly with the wind blowing but a very sociable village event, made warmer by the mulled wine and the roasted chestnuts....

After that we went to a concert that filled the eleventh century church in Vaugines with a soprano, baritone and pianist, which was very good with a varied repertoire from Handel to Copland. The church at Vaugines is beautiful in its simplicity and is well worth visiting in its own right.

The (JUST!!!) is because of one of the most difficult things in the Luberon - to find out what is going on. This requires sensitive antennae and a great deal of luck. There is no effective website or local newspaper to provides information on activities in the several villages in our area.

We found out about the village party, because we heard the music from behind our house. We found out about the concert in Vaugines from a very small poster on a tree! Maybe making an informational website is a future project!!
