If it’s Friday, it must be France …

September 17, 2021 by Patricia Sands Leave a Comment

Plage de la Gravette, Antibes

It may be September but in the south of France summer is still in full swing. I love posting this photo for a few reasons. Firstly, because I know who is sitting in those chairs and that fills my heart every single time I see the image. Secondly, it reminds me of a time when some of our family was visiting with my husband and me in Antibes one summer. Different family members (have I mentioned we have seven ‘kids’ … and now some of the grandkids are old enough to visit on their own too!)and friends often came to stay for a while during our summers there and we loved every minute.

I posted this quote on Instagram the other day and am happy to share it here with you. “There is nothing that can equal the treasure of so many shared memories.” ~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery, author of Le Petit Prince.

So true, is it not? Hold onto that thought, dear friends. Go back and linger in some of your photo albums and treasure the memories.

I’m dropping in here today to remind everyone that the three Love in Provence ebooks are on sale for September for .99 US each. Thanks to Amazon! I love it when they put my books on sale.

So if you have not begun the series yet … or never got around to finishing it … what? You definitely should! Or gift some copies to friends … easily done on the Amazon page. Let me know if you don’t know how. I will be happy to help!

Have you read all three novels? (Did you know that the Villa des Violettes series carries on the stories of the same beloved characters?)

It’s so satisfying creating graphics using my photography and this shot of Tourrettes sur Loup is dear to my heart! It’s a view that is suddenly in your face when drive round a corner on the winding road from Grasse to Saint Paul de Vence. I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve stopped so I can capture this image … it is irresistible to me!

In fact, our September #southofFrancememories tour is specially planned so we make this same stop. Then our group stays to have lunch and explore this enchanting village.

In The Promise of Provence, Kat first has this same experience from the back of Philippe’s vintage motorcycle! Quelle surprise!

Here’s a link that will lead you to all three books … or you can find the book links here on my website.

If you are free an hour from now at 8 Eastern, Friday, join me and nine author friends as we have some fun on The Write Review helping to celebrate Kerry Anne King’s fabulous new book, Other People’s Things! It’s a great read. Come and party with us! Here’s how to play!

Bon weekend and bonne lecture tout le monde. Stay safe this weekend and enjoy a good book! Perhaps one of these!

À très bientôt! See you soon!
