After a couple of very hectic days, on Sunday morning, I had the chance to enjoy some down time.
The yeasty smell of rising croissants waiting to be baked greeted me as I walked through the empty house; everyone else was sleeping.
I clicked on an email link my friend Najah had sent me. The title was "36 Hours in Provence." I saw that the video ran 6 minutes long, so I hesitated. Did I have time to watch a 6-minute video.
Yes! I deserved six minutes in Provence, but first I made a cup of coffee and steamed the milk until it was frothy.
Then I took my computer and my coffee to the cool air of the front porch and clicked start.
36 Hours in Provence
Unfortunately, the video is available to upload directly to my blog, so I've captured a shot from the video and included the link here. It's definitely worth your time if you want to long to visit Provence. The video focused a bit too much on "going out" kinds of clubs rather than the gorgeous landscapes and Roman architecture that I'm entranced by, but maybe some of you are looking for hot clubs to visit.
The New York Times also did a video call "36 Hours in Nice" and I can upload that one here.
Grab a cup of coffee and a croissant and join me!
Where would you rather spend 36 hours - Provence or Nice?

Ahh, tough question! I enjoyed Nice but I would rather spend my time in Provence.
Thanks for hosting...........
French Hutch, Me too.
We spent a month in Nice over 30 years ago. How I would like to go back to see it again!
Thanks for the link to the videos. I can visit by watching, as I don't suppose I will ever get the chance to actually visit in person.
Home made croissants?! Really! Oh, Paulita you put me to shame.
Sim, They were Trader Joe's. They come frozen and I set them out the night before to let them rise.
Provence-Nice is too commercial and large.
Thanks for video links Paulita , earmarked to watch later .. As you know I love France. ♥
