I love Ansouis. It’s almost always first on my list to show guests.
A turret on the chateau there.
There’s a lovely little chapel attached to the chateau and it has several chandeliers hanging inside.
The statue of a saint-unknown to me. Doesn’t it look like she is wearing blue eye shadow? I think it may just be the light coming in from the stained glass window.
I love it when leaves turn red. This was on a wall in Ansouis.

I love Ansouis, too. Have you ever had the wine from Les Puy des Arts? The retired owner is a friend of mine, now his son runs the place.

What caught my eye was the detail of the doorway and the wall in the 2nd picture…love that…do you have that in more detail?

Sounds like an interesting place — and not on the usual tourist track! Have never been to Provencle but we hope to go there someday. The chapel looks ovely.

Beautiful.
The chandelier is striking against that background too.

Looks beautiful; I’ll make the trip out the next time I’m in Aix. The chandelier looks all the better for the fading plasterwork behind.

The chandelier and aging paint are so beautiful - the santo gorgeous - I’d love to see that place up close. I hope so much to come back Linda - I think about it all the time!

Such a beautiful place and to think that they have all those chandeliers! The statue does look like she has blue eyeshadow; did you see which way the light was coming from?
