Bormes Les Mimosa
So we took a drive up to Bormes Les Mimosa. Although it’s February, spring is already starting to bloom. And Bormes Les Mimosa is, to me, the best place to celebrate it!
The Mimosa trees are in full bloom and seeing them is like looking at flowering sunshine.
Bormes is a fun town to visit – partly because it still has part of the old city that was built in the 12th century and part from the 16th century. The old town has narrow,winding streets – some with stairs – like “bone shaker” street – which is what happens to you if you miss a step and fall here…
Then there’s “Lover’s Alley” – a narrow cobblestone street filled with unique artistan shops – linens, soaps and ceramics. (My favorites this year are the bright red jugs and platters and kitchenware. I’m definitely going back to stock up for the summer!)
Alain bought 3 bouquets of Mimosas – one for me, one for Elsa and one for his dad – who grumbled a bit, but was very happy to get his.
I’ll be creating a page about Bormes les Mimosas and sharing with you the wonderful streets and squares and gardens you that are a “must see” – so be watching for it! And in the meantime, Happy Spring!
