This is a wonderful new project in the foothills of the Alpilles near St Remy de Provence. What appeals is the magical location and intensity of the landscape experience. Within a short space, the fore, mid and background of the property quickly take the eye up to a medieval chapel that overlooks the property and acts as it's Guardian Angel. The colours of the landscape are quintessentially Mediterranean with glistening silvery olive leaves against a backdrop of pines (Pinus halepensis) in vibrant green. An eighteenth century lime kiln is the oldest building on the property while the oldest artifact is the Roman aqueduct that meanders through the garden eventually ending in the city of Arles.
