Provence - A Year in Provence in a Week

A Year in Provence in a Week
Saturday - November 20 – Farmhouse in Pellisane with the Wernert Clan
We arrived here late yesterday afternoon. Amazingly we all met up in Aix – this took some major coordination. Tony, Kay, Gretchen, Derek, and I drove from Languedoc and managed to pick up Sarah and her friend, Trish, at the Aix TGV station. Peter, Casey, Maureen, Mathew, and Ellie had flown into Marseille, rented a car and were driving north to Aix where we had not arranged a meeting point. It was very challenging as we had one cell phone communication link to Maureen from Kay. That group had arrived Marseille before we did but they didn’t know where they were. After a lot of confusing telephone conversation we decided that, since they didn’t know where they were but it looked like the center of the city, they should just get out of the car, find a place to eat lunch and call us back with the name of the restaurant. A stroke of luck, we pulled up to the main plaza and we were right in front of the right restaurant.
We found the house easily. It is unbelievably beautiful – looks just like it did on the website. It is huge!!! There are so many bedrooms, baths, and other rooms like the “reading room” – it feels a bit like a modern castle. Above are some pictures of it.
