Picture moods from France...

Here's a mini photo trip to France and Provence over the years... you can find more travel stories on the blog Welcome to the ride :)

The picture below: The entrance to the small village of Mons. Mons is a peaceful, quiet and almost car-free small village high in the hills. There is fresh good air and mind-soothing landscapes all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.

Geraniums belong to the street scene of small villages. In addition to the fun color, they are also fun for repelling mosquitoes!
