In this quantum universe, we're all connected, through our InnerNet of Love... beyond the transformation we call "death". On this page is a real LIFE story about my month in France, mostly in Southern France in what was once the Provence Romana: Provence, today.!

BEST TRIP OF MY LIFETIME

After the family of my deceased wife, Martine a native of Paris, came to stay and travel with us around northern Arizona for a week she wanted to reciprocate.  My trip was inspired by my deceased wife's desire to travel to "Languedoc" (now Provence) where they once spoke Occitan  in southern France to revisit and show me some sites she thought I would enjoy. At that time (2010) she wanted me to find 2-bedroom places to stay so her niece's family could travel and stay with us. I could find no such places to stay, but I did find places I would like to visit. So, after her 2013 death and years of French classes I "bit the bullet" in 2017. I was worried about traveling in a country that did not speak my native language, but I spoke enough French and they spoke enough English that we all got along fine.
HOW DO MESSAGES COME ACROSS THE VEIL?

Here are some words from Kryon

"There were no words, no messages, and no advice, only emotion. Dear ones, this is when his heart lit up, and he connected to that which was his real persona. This is when we were able to get out of his head and look to his heart. It took years for him to understand what was happening, to be comfortable with it, and to finally realize it was supposed to be shared with you."

EXPLORING PROVENCE

Visiting the Historical, Religious, Archeological, and Artistic Sites of Southern France, from Marseilles to Lourdes, dating from the 1st Century Romans, through times during the formation of the early church, and its growing pains, to the Impressionists of the late 1800s & early 1900s plus a little bit of today.

ARRIVING IN FRANCE

Approaching Paris as I arrived in France I was impressed by the colorful countryside and it was not yet Lavender season.

After clearing Customs I had a Pain au Chocolat (Chocolate croissant in the USA) while I waited for my flight Air France to Marseilles.
Marseilles City Tour

I walked the city on my first full day there. On the second day I took the City Tour, On the way to Le Iglese de Gard (A church converted from a medieval fort) at the base of the hill on which it rests  the city tour stopped at " Catlan Beach". I realized then that the Occitan language, still spoken in Catalonia Spain was at one time the language spoken and the culture that lined the north shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Yes, that was also the language spoken, called Languedoc, in the south of old France, before it was Gaul.

Van Gogh's Irises in Arles


During a tour of Arles we visited a hospital where Van Gogh once stayed I felt that Van Gogh's Iris's were particularly inspiring as he painted the progenitors of today's crop.


Below is a modern photo of the courtyard in which they grow today.
