Cycling
past Roman ruins, tile roofed farmhouses and grand chateau, you can't help feeling
like you are riding through centuries of fairy tales.
Seas
of lavender with splashes of crimson poppies sway in the breeze as
their pungent aroma catches the salty balm of the sea air. This is
definitely Provence, France.
Magnificent palaces and estates with gracious gardens share
the sloping vineyard studded hills with stucco cottages. The warmth of
the sun on your shoulders reminds you of the strength and beauty of Van
Gogh's sunflowers and the mere mention of La Camargue piques your
curiosity.
Provence wears her layers of history like the large, hand-crafted
pieces of furniture that establish the focal point of many homes in the
area. In years past, massive pieces with intricate carvings or detailed
hand painting were crafted from trees cut from the owner's land.
The
Chateau Beauvais Collection, like Provence, holds the beauty of nature,
encased in solid functional design and is made to be lived in.
