Hold the Front Page!

It’s been a slow news week, as illustrated by the front page of La Provence on 31st January, a photo of a speed camera and the following story: in the middle of the night (very cloak and dagger!) a speed camera entered into service near the exit from Monteux in the direction of Sarrians. Presumably the editor of La Provence lives somewhere nearby.

The gardens of Chateau Val Joanis have been voted the best gardens of 2008 by the Association des Journalistes du Jardin et de L’Horticulture, The gardens consist of three different terraces each with a different theme. It’s three years since the gardens of Val Joanis were classed as Jardins Remarquables by the minister of culture.

And finally for wine lovers, the Orange Concours de Vin tasted 3060 cotes du Rhone 2006 and 2007 vintages and the following Luberon domaines were awarded the Medal D’Or

Cave du Bonnieux

Chateau Blanc Rousillion

Chateau La Canorgue Bonnieux

Cave de Lumieres a Goult

Valdeze La Tour D’Aigue

Domaine Le Coulet Rouge Rousillion
