It's time for another France Photohunt!

Here are the guidelines: You select one of your own photos to post that in some way utilizes the topic. Use the topic as a concrete prompt, or find a novel approach. Each person, just one post/photo per thread topic, (or two if you must)please. Photos should be resized to be no wider than 600 pixels. Too-large photos slow down the loading of the thread, and will be deleted. Read about how to post a photo in a thread, here. If you have an idea for a photo hunt topic, contact one of the Mods to offer the suggestion instead of beginning another thread.

Posting photos in the thread gives your permission for SlowTrav to eventually move the photos over to Photohunt albums in the Slow Photos site.

This week's prompt is "Summertime"

You're encouraged to describe your photo--where you shot it, details of what you were doing or what was going on, etc.

Paris in the summer, taken in July 2008 -

But I prefer this scene: the Rosarie in the Bois de Boulogne -

L'Espace Van Gogh in Arles, June 2007

An early summer sage field in full bloom on the Vaucluse plateau in Provence, with yellow broom at the edge of the field.

Near my village, 10 mins away from Dijon.

And a small part of the botanical garden in Dijon. A really nice place...

Hmm

we have poppies in Spring - not summer ?

The flowers in Burgundy bloom a bit later than in South. This picture has been taken end of June. And I usually see poppies in the fields all summer long.

L'Isle sur la Sorgue, June, 2007

What says summer more than sitting around half clothed under a shady palm tree? Here we're observing the scene near the beach in Menton. In the background, the Jean Cocteau Museum and the Alps dropping down to the sea behind the old town.

A lovely summer day along the wharf at Villefranche sur Mer.

Late summer grapes in the vineyards surrounding our village in the Minervois region of the Languedoc-Roussillon.

OK, here's BW with a Monaco (Moon-a-co) - a great summer drink - at Bar Restaurant de France in Lacoste - a great place to pause for the cause - June 7, 2009.
