Lloyd Garver Survey 2009 reports:
Since it was France, I couldn’t resist asking a couple of questions about sex. Not surprisingly, those questioned felt that French women and men are sexier than Americans. However, I should point out that this was before I got my haircut.
Of all the things that France is known for, including their history, their architecture, their art, a surprising 20 percent said that the French thing they were most proud of was … the cheese. The cheese! Forget Notre Dame, Impressionism and the French Revolution. Just pass the Brie.
Wonder what the Americans are most proud of …? Their extensive History? Iraq? Vietnam? Slavery? Sorry just jesting – they do have Obama afterall – we have Gordon. Wonder if they would like to do a swap?

We are all aware of Peter Mayle’s prolific activity in promoting the
Provence – especially the Lurberon. Now more support for the delights of
Provence!
Susan Spano writing in the Los Angeles Times identifies 3 more reasons to love
Provence:
1)
APT MARKET – For visitors, it’s a bacchanal of Provencal merchandise, along with inexpensive imported jewelry, clothing and housewares.
2) LE CASTELAS RESTAURANT- eating some of the best food in Provence with your fingers while watching the sun set over the Luberon
3) JANE EAKIN HOUSE IN MENERBES – Her paintings of its people and places were exhibited in galleries all over Europe, even though she never became famous.
Have you more reasons to love the Provence?

What is happening to property prices in chic Provence? Well it seems according to the Daily Telegraph that demand is still high in the chic coastal resorts such as St Tropez.
One estate agent reports "feverish demand" for apartments and beach houses below €20 million (£17m) in the area – not from Russians but French, Italian and even English families looking for a second home in a quality location".
