[Idyllchat] Re: Provence Untour

[Jerry Clancy]

We were in Provence for several weeks in the late summer of 2005 and 
encountered absolutely no anti-Americanism. To the contrary, we found 
nothing but polite and friendly folks. Provence is "country", full of 
farms, and farm folk, I find, are pleasant the world over. Many 
French, particularly Parisiens, may be critical of our policies but 
in over 15 trips to the country I've never encountered any hostility.

Rousillon is one of the wonderful little towns in the Luberon and 
I've never heard of any incident there. It's a great place to shop 
and have lunch. For me the Luberon is the gem of Provence.
