The Light

“Behind the Mistral is the beauty of Provence. Its fierceness blows away clouds and grime and doubt, leaving colours the depth of dreams and a freshness that can come only after the Mistral’s scouring. Provence needs the Mistral or it ceases to be the Provence of my dreams. I need the Mistral to cut through those dreams to truth – beauty comes after the wind.” Kamiah A. Walker

It's no wonder artists like Van Gogh and Cézzane came here to paint. The light here is like nothing else. They say the mistral winds clear the atmosphere, blowing all the dust out to sea and leaving nothing but crystal clear skies, light so clear and pure and you can see for miles. It's hard to even capture in words or in photos. But in the evening, sitting and watching the sun set, we so often comment on the light. This place is one of a kind. It needs to be seen to be believed.
