After eco printing sharing (last post), time for the relax touring of beautiful Bordeaux with wine and food. Thanks for atelier host Caroline's generous guiding us in the historic town of Bordeaux with me and my girl Jasmine.
Strolling in our own printed garments.
What caught our sights of course the eucalyptus.
A nice get together with Sabine who's my mate learnt together in master Irit Dulman's Spain workshop three years ago.
After town walks then biking in the vineyard.
We've such a sunny day out in the stunning fields.
Not only enjoying the gorgeous scenery but also the French cuisine.
Salad, oyster, cheese, wine.....
Learnt how to open oyster
Some raw some grilled
The many varieties of cheese
Thank you my host family
You all made our stay in Bordeaux so great.
Journey heading to the South, Provence.
After a few hours train we arrived in Nyons, a medieval town since 14th century.
We stayed in friend's cozy house, Brigitte and Helene are so nice to make us dishes. We walked the dogs in the old village and up to the mountain for the great views around.
Houses in the mountain
Terraced houses and stone alleys
The old church is the landmark of Nyons
Early quiet walk
Across the bridge over Eygues we're walking along the river and passing the olive groves and orchids
Silver grey olive grove
clear water of the river
Magnificent view over the mountain Rocher Du Caire
In a leisure hiking we met a couple from Holland with the baby. He's so cute.
Hiking up and down to the village Saint May

Nice gathering over the Spanish food
Day out to the Thursday market - the biggest in the region.
All those pretty stuff are so tempting....
Autumn is around the corner. Such a good ambiance in the country market.
A tribute visit to late friend Jean's house to view his painting.
We're honored to have Jean's son Pierre to give us a few of Jean's beautiful painting.
Jean, a great painter.
Refresh Brigitte's youth....
"that's you..."
Brigitte's good friend Helene is Spanish. She's a model feature to show the simply cutting dress I made for her. It's kind of my creation of "slow fashion". A round tube knit silk jersey, simply cut two arm holes and natural dyed then printed with fresh flowers and leaves.
Thank you my gorgeous super model Helene.
Time to call it a day. We left Nyons by evening train back to Paris.
The fascinating city of marvelous facades or any angle of buildings are magnificient.
After checked in we have wine, coffee and nice food.
A journey of mother and daughter is short but great to have precious time together as each of us are busy while working.
What glorious scenery for you to enjoy!
