The hyacinth: Bulbous plant of the family of liliaceous which one cultivates a species of Minor Asia for these flowers in decorative bunch.

"Spaces of relaxation decorated with flowers which make the Provence charm"

Our grandmothers kettle, installed at the edge of the stove, always ready to whistle with hour of infusion or tea.

 "In winter, by evaporation, it was in charge of of hydrating the air of all the Provençal house."

Tea lover partner, always lends to deliver its varied savours come from east.

"For the Provençal people not long ago even, this beverage and these exotic utensils, seemed chic people reserved."

Come from Persia, symbol of love, the tulip succeeded in making stage in the culture of High Provence.

"This flower very appreciated by the Dutch speakers blooms more quickly under the sun of Provence, a tulip scoop."

Art to cut the hedges, shrubs, bushes the made-to-order of the sculptors with a decorative aim.

"Hidden recesses of provençal garden where we like trailing round it shielded from the time which passes."

Come join the lavender and the olive tree, the tulip blooms on the lands of Provence.

"In each the season however: the winter for the olive tree, the spring for the tulip, the summer for the lavender."

Except the first year, very little water for the lavender, accustomed to the arid climates.

"The lavender takes root in a ground so difficult, with little ground and so many pebbles, as too much attention perturbs it."

With summer rages the heat wave. Against the little cottage the olive tree delivers shade so much required.

"Walls around the Provençal small little cottage result from numerous stones removed from the ground to be able to cultivate it."

Very thick, with a narrow neck intended for better preserving the freshness of the liquid in summer: The jug of Provence.

"It left in fields, filled with some fresh water of the well, and crossed the scorching days in closer of the farmer."

Under the olive tree, against the wall, it was good to make a nap before turning over to work.

"The profound notches in dry-stone walls correspond in habits of passage of the Provençal farmer or of his animals"
