Ste. Agnès: Fête de Lavande - Faces

Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved.

Faces...at the Fête de Lavande - some we've seen before at the folk dancing.

It seems to me that these marvellous faces could well have existed in medieval times - indeed perhaps these people are descendants of the original families of this beautiful village. So often in a French hill village, families go back through the centuries - families as old as the medieval houses they live in.

  5. Wow! I have internet again for a few days and it's been worth connecting!

    I sort of feel 'homesick' for your neck of the woods.
