Glimpses - a photo on Flickriver

Glimpses

            I see this very attractive Château through the trees when we're walking along the former railway line between Sillans-la-Cascade and Pontevès. I wanted to get a photo of it but wasn't sure I could capture it very well because it seemed to be hidden somewhat behind trees from one of only two vantage points I had but when I came home and uploaded what I had taken I was pleasantly surprised. It's called 'Château Duvivier' and the following is an extract from the internet. It was in German so I used the translation facility on my iMac:

"At the beginning - 1990 - stood a run-down castle in the deepest Provence and the big dream of a holistic organic castle. Today, Château Duvivier enjoys the status of a model business in organic viticulture. In the midst of the beguilingly beautiful Provence with oak forests and natural meadows with thyme, lavender and rosemary, improved methods and new grape varieties are constantly being tested in order to continuously optimize viticulture according to the Delinat method. It is clear that the innovative spirit on Duvivier also benefits from their own wines."

You can also stay there:

"Château Duvivier was built in 1896 and gently renovated by Delinat in the early 1990s. All rooms are simply furnished and without luxury, and of course non-smoking rooms. It is not a hotel in the usual sense, but a cozy hostel. There is no lift, no air conditioning, no luggage and room service, no TV, no wellness area and Wi-Fi only on the ground floor and in the public areas. For this, the Château radiates a lot of charm, peace and serenity. A spacious garden terrace and the sun-heated swimming pool invite you to relax."
