Sourribes
is a quiet little village, lying in the plain on the banks of the river
Vançon, where old ladies take the air, sitting in the street with
their floral aprons ... knitting a sweater for the cold season! Surrounded
by green hills and wheat fields, Sourribes has a lovely little church
with a wall-belfry, a "mairie"-cum-school more than a century
old (1902!), with
its little square shaded by plane trees, old barns awaiting restoration
and big unpretentious houses, with blue-lavender shutters, often with
bucolic gardens.
Lulled by the song of the river, the cicadas .. and the
cockerel, with minimum road traffic since the road ends here, Sourribes
is a haven of peace in Provence! |
