  • Come with me on a beautiful spring day to see what life is like in one of the most beautiful french villages in the South of France. Lourmarin is my favorite place I have visited in France and I am so grateful that I can take a bus here to visit. In todays video we walk through the French Market to pick up some fresh produce for a picnic and for a diy air freshener. We also get to visit Château de Lourmarin. I hope you enjoy this weeks video.

    Hi Sam! Greetings from New Mexico! I just wanted to drop by to express a long overdue thank you for all your videos of Lourmarin! Last May, my partner and I decided to explore Provence and were in search of a town to base our adventures from. By chance, I stumbled upon your Lourmarin videos (I believe it was the winter one...) and instantly knew we had found the perfect spot. To cut a long story short, we had an incredible week exploring the region and stayed at Le Moulin in Lourmarin - such a great hotel... all thanks to you! We adore your videos and have remained loyal subscribers and followers ever since. Wishing you continued happiness and eagerly following all your adventures.

    Beautiful video, Sam with so much to enjoy and appreciate. I've always loved seeing and smelling washing on an outside line, in the fresh breeze.
    J'adore Farmer's Markets. We have four near where I live, in the suburbs of London including Kew and Chiswick. Absolutely lovely to stroll around and get good fresh produce and well made sustainable crafts plus fresh fruit and flowers. The wisteria is looking so pretty as is the whole of Lourmarin.
    You captured so many great details within the Chateau and what interesting history.
    And finally what a great idea to make a natural air freshener. Thanks so much for a wonderful and uplifting share 🌷🪻🌷🪻🌷

    Hello dear Sam. Bravo,bravo! It makes me smile this episode. You going on your own,hearing french speaking and shopping for yourself,enjoying nature and showing this special and beautiful chateau,the natural air fresher that you mentioned last time( looks very cool btw. How was the scent in the room,can you feel it? And how long it last?). You look pretty with that dress,is it linen? We are going to see each other soon on the streets,if you keep active. With the nice and sunny weather,I think you will be. Only one kind suggestion I have for you: when you are out in nature and sitting and chatting to us,try to stop the background music for that moment. I think hearing the nature's sound would be just perfect. Those birds and the nature peace. I think it will make the moment better. I love nature too 🐮. Keep smiling 👏🤗

      I think it’s a beautiful gift that people are able to travel and see different parts of the world and experience other cultures. Lourmarin isn’t always like this, especially during off season. Plus when tourists come to visit it helps support the farmers markets, restaurants and stores.
