Under the Tuscan Sun or A Year in Provence?

Volume IV, Issue 30

Sunday night we returned from ten scorchingly hot days in Tuscany and Umbria with a short stop in Rome. (It turned cool in Paris the moment we landed!) Even though Italy is delightful, those ten days of vacation were an eye-opening experience to all the things I love most about living in France!

By coincidence, a reader of FPI contacted us for advice about buying a property in Provence, specifically in the Vaucluse, an area of France that I have enjoyed on several vacations and which reminds me much of the hill towns of Tuscany and Umbria.
For these reasons, today’s issue explores life in Italy vs France, and in particular these regions. Take in the articles about Italy and then be sure to learn more about the beautiful villages of the Vaucluse where life can be idyllic.
We also welcome to French Property Insider Consultation, Ms. Tracy James, our new Mortgage Manager, who will be assisting you with financing your next property in France.

A bientôt…

Welcome Mortgage Manager Tracy James to French Property Insider Consultation
We are proud to announce that Ms. Tracy James of San Juan Island, Washington, joined the staff of French Property Insider just this month with 20 years experience in retail sales and 10 years experience as a top producer in the mortgage lending industry. She was a volunteer on a committee to bring affordable housing to San Juan Island. and was voted San Juan County Real Estate Affiliate of the Year…twice! All this success comes from a small bundle of energy who was once a stage actress, singer and dancer who obviously also loves to travel.
Originally raised in San Diego, she moved to San Juan Island in 1992 and moved to Paris in July of 2004. Home in Paris is a rental apartment on rue des Rosiers in the 4th arrondissement. She has a daughter aged 20 and now a pet toy poodle puppy named Lucy who goes with her whenever possible.
We first met Tracy about one-year-and-a-half ago when she volunteered to work with Parler Paris to produce the weekly Community Calendar. Her bright smile and overwhelming energy impressed us then and delights us now as she takes on the responsibility of assisting property purchase clients in finding the right mortgage that suits their needs. She is also working directly with many of our clients to search and find the perfect property.

Ten Days Under the Tuscan Sun and in t
he Shade of Umbria — Without Rose-Colored
Sunglasses
By Adrian Leeds
From Parler Paris, July 31, 2006

Every year about this time, I take a week-long vacation with my daughter. Last year, we explored the Dalmatian coast of Croatia along the Adriatic Sea, with nothing but some simple beach clothing, sun tan lotion and a few guide books. This time around, with ten days planned in Tuscany, Umbria and Rome, I took an old laptop computer so I could spend every morning typing away on the keys to recall the previous day’s experiences.
My daughter, a budding photographer with an assignment from McGraw-Hill to take photos that can be used in educational books, took with her a Canon EOS 20D digital camera and a stack of memory cards. It was a pleasure to have someone with me who is forever recording the scene enabling me to be free to fully take in the landscape and the true-to-life experiences without looking through the lens of a camera.
We chose Italy for several reasons. First, we hadn’t been to Italy in a long time — about 8 years. Second, the air fares on EasyJet and Ryanair were really reasonable — about 105€ round trip for each of us. Third, I had a friend in Assisi that I wanted Erica to meet.
It was an aggressive trip — five different overnight locations in ten days, arriving in Pisa, flying home from Rome. There were many points along the way we wanted to stop and lots to see and accomplish. I rented a car, booked the flights and the hotel accommodations on the Internet, bought maps and a guidebook in Paris before leaving and tried to anticipate the little snags we might encounter along the way if I didn’t think ahead.
Erica took more than 1500 photos. I wrote almost 5000 words. It’s a long and perhaps winded tale of our ten days in Italy, of what we liked, what we didn’t like, what we discovered and what we didn’t discover. For those of you who love Italy, for all its assets and regardless of its liabilities, you may or may not appreciate my viewpoint without the usual “rose-colored sunglasses.” Italy is not perfect, as isn’t France, and it is possibly these imperfections that colored the excursion with real vitality, if not wonder.
My travelogue is peppered with Erica’s best and most poignant photos — at least in my opinion. Of 1500 images, there are too many that I’d love to publish, but we’ll let McGraw-Hill and Erica publish the rest in their books and on her Web site (http://www.ericasimone.com). Meanwhile, if you want to take a voyage with me and my daughter through Tuscany and Umbria, from Pisa to Rome, from your seat where you now sit, then click here…

Under the Tuscan Sun vs A Year in Provence
By Adrian Leeds

Often I come across people who are confused about their feelings toward Italy vs France for good reason.
In some ways, the two European countries are quite similar. They have quite a bit of shared history and shared territory, the borders having changed over the years leaving remnants of each other’s cultures on the terrain.
Their two Latin origin languages, French and Italian, are not too dissimilar — it’s fairly easy to learn Italian once you know French and vice versa. For example, “Bonjour” in French is “buongiorno” in Italian.
There is every bit as much romance attached with owning a “villa” in the Tuscan hills as there is in owning a “maison de campagne” in Provence. What charms North Americans to each of these not-so-undiscovered spots on the European landscape are very much the same reasons — history, lifestyle, culture.
So, one of the reasons I took ten days in Italy on vacation was to refresh my own memory as to why I preferred France over Italy as a place to permanently hang my hat. Ten days was long enough to make the comparison and reinforce my original decision to “Francofy rather than “Italiafy” myself.
Understand that my impressions are sweeping generalizations about each “people” after having traveled as a tourist and also talked with friends who live there. The comments are exaggerated to make a point and not intended to be offensive to either, but to illustrate the assets and liabilities of making a home in one vs the other.
For instance, while the French are the inventors of the word “bureaucracy,” the Italians invented “anarchy.” The difference between the French sense of order changes to chaos the moment you cross the border into Italy. Of course, life would be better somewhere between extreme order and extreme chaos, but that’s some other nation we haven’t yet found so romantic.
French roads are well tended, well marked and virtually free of ugly distractions. If you cross the border by car, you will note immediately the difference finding an inconsistency of the quality of the roads and directional signs that lead you nowhere or drop you in the middle of your journey altogether. The driving seems chaotic, too, but in fact, the fatality rate per capita in Italy is less than in France by about 20%.
The bureaucratic French will make you dot every “i” and cross every “t” several times to get something accomplished, but you can count on accomplishing it within a predictable amount of time. The anarchistic Italians, however, might make it seem easily doable from the outset, but then never accomplish it all — things as simple as installing a phone line or fixing a water heater.
Costs to purchase and maintain a home in Tuscany vs Provence are similar and both are at
tracting Ang
lophone buyers in similar fashion. You are sure to find neighbors that don’t speak much French or Italian and share your frustrations with the cultural differences. You might find your Italian neighbors warm and inviting while the French will seem cool and aloof, but then again, they may be quicker to take advantage of you compared to the French indifference and sometimes arrogance.

Either way, ten days in Italy taught me that I’m quite spoiled by the lifestyle in France…where the trains run frequently and on time, where I can count on a baguette costing the same in every boulangerie and where I know my plumber isn’t going to quit the job if he has been jilted by his lover.

The Vaucluse
From Provence Web
http://www.provenceweb.fr/

Here is the interior of Provence. The boundaries of the Vaucluse are defined by the valley of the Rhône in the west, which provides irrigation for this land of fruit, vegetables and vineyards.
The north of the department has a unique story in that four of the villages of Vaucluse were hemmed in inside the “departement” of the Drome and have since been named the Pope’s Enclave just above Vaison la Romaine in the rocky Haut Vaucluse.
The eastern boundaries are sculpted out of the Alps and the Mount Ventoux; while in the south one finds the Luberon, between Cavaillon and Pertuis which follows along the Durance River.
The villages in this part are known to be charming, found so high up in the rocky chain of the Luberon.
* Le Luberon
This is a land of castles, perched villages and craggy landscape. The Luberon is a place much sought after. Even before Peter Mayle and his bestseller Une Année en Provence, famous people both in politics and show business came here to escape the curious crowds.
Right in the heart of Provence, Luberon offers such historical and cultural sites as the Abby of Senanque and the typical villages of Gordes, Ménerbes, Lourmarin.
In the midst of this rough countryside of deep crevices and terrassed slopes, the Luberon inhabitants have made a living out of wine making and the cultivation of lavender, native to this soil.

* The Rhône Valley and The Comtat Venaissin

From Bollene in the north to Avignon in the south, and passing through Orange, one must add Cavaillon and Carpentras to this fertile valley.
These vast plains, dedicated to agriculture, head the national production of fruit and vegetables.
Here wine making is a tradition; it is the land of Côtes du Rhône, Côtes de Ventoux and Côtes de Luberon mostly classed A.O.C. Chateauneuf du Pape, along with Gigondas, add prestige to the region without forgetting the fragrant Vacqueyras or Rasteau.
* Haut Vaucluse (Provence des Papes)
This protected site, historically rich for more than 20 centuries, is surrounded by oak and pine forests.
The Dentelles of Montmirail, curious looking hills with sharp peaks that have eroded in a manner resembling lace, attract mountain climbing enthusiasts.
Below the Pope’s Enclave the land is rich in truffles, lavender, honey and good wine. Here nature is strong and is respected by the inhabitants. This is the Provence made from the love of hard work and the knowledge that has been transmitted from generation to generation.

The Most Beautiful Vaucluse Villages
From Provence Guide
http://www.provenceguide.com/

In Provence, stone, water, wind and earth are inextricably connected, and man has always used all four to advantage, benefiting from the climate and the forces of nature. In Vaucluse, the architectural heritage blends harmoniously with the natural setting, for the organization of society in Vaucluse dates back to the Middle Ages, and sometimes even to Roman times. Drystone architecture is quite prevalent, due to the stones produced when fields were cleared and the many quarries. Drystone architecture is seen in stone walls, bories, homes and cobblestone streets. Water, the symbol of life, flows from countless fountains on shady squares, often next to clock towers which stand guard, topped by wrought iron campaniles — forming the heart of the village. Water mills and wind mills supplied flour and olive oil, precious, vital ingredients to the Provençal way of life.
Architectural heritage, natural beauty, both work together to delight the eye as you travel through Vaucluse, discovering how the villages blend in with the stone, the rock and the natural colours.
* Village of Ansouis
The Castle, built in the 13th century and restored in the 18th century, overlooks the village, where the houses are built in a semi-circle on the hilltop. The village is sheltered from the Mistral Wind. Beautifully picturesque winding streets and squares, the good life all year long.
 
* Village of Gordes
Here in Gordes, stone architecture has been perfected, reaching the pinnacle of a fine art. Homes and walls cling to the rocky spur where the village was built centuries ago. Walking along the winding cobblestone streets, the visitor senses the history of this beautiful village on the road to Apt.
 
* Village of Ménerbes
Ménerbes is built atop a rocky spur, and stretches langourously along the hilltop, facing the Monts-de-Vaucluse. Splendid medieval architecture. The Citadel stands out like a stone sailing ship above a sea of vineyards. Discover Ménerbes in all seasons, as did artists Nicolas de Staël and Picasso.
 
 
 
 
* Séguret Village
The name Séguret comes from the Provençal word Ségur (sûr), which itself comes from the Latin Securitas, which meant safety. Built into the hillside, on the last foothills of the Alps, overlooking the Comtat Plains and the Rhône Valley, with their vineyards. Séguret has retained its strong medieval character, with its cobblestone streets, its old homes, the fountain “Fontaine des Mascarrons”, a historical monument, the ruins of its feudal castle which affords a breathtaking view. Also see the 17th century belfry with a single hand, 10th century Saint-Denis Church, and Notre-Dame-des-Graces Chapel.
* Village of Roussillon
Ochre cliffs surrounding the village, ochre-colored fronts of homes in Roussillon, deep green pine trees against the brilliant blue sky… the magic of color in the beautiful light of the Luberon delights visitors to Roussillon.
 
* Village of Lourmarin
In the heart of the Luberon, amidst vineyards and olive trees, Lourmarin has many homes dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Picturesque streets, gurgling fountains, home to Albert Camus and French author Henri Bosco, who are both buried here.
 
* Village of Venasque
Venasque is a hilltop village overlooking the plains. Saracen towers, an old baptistery whose origins are the subject of controversy, the church and the crucifixion scene dating from 1498… Mystery and architectural beauty in its winding streets, pleasant to visit winter and summer alike.
