  • 📍

    GPS coordinates and specific field locations

    Not 'visit the Valensole plateau.' The exact spot to stand, the exact time to be there.

  • 🗺

    Driving routes from your base

    Times from Cannes, Valbonne, Nice, Monaco, and Antibes — with recommended return routes.

  • 🕐

    Timing that accounts for altitude and variety

    We track which fields peak when. Valensole and Sault do not bloom on the same schedule.

  • 🔒

    Updated annually

    Farmers rotate crops. Fields disappear. The map we share with clients is reviewed each year.

The first thing about Hidden Pond is fir trees and wood smoke. Todd Snyder designed The From Away Lodge after his firstCandelaria, Paris. The Mexican restaurant in the Marais behind the door that looks like a wall. The taqueria in front; Three lobster rolls. One bike. One Kennebunk. My bike lives on Boothby Road. It goes everywhere here — past the traffiCinque Terre. Five villages on the Ligurian coast — Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso. The trains Memorial Day, from Kennebunkport. The flags are out across Maine — on the porches, in the trees, at the harbors, above A Provençal mas in the Luberon. The shutters open onto a field; the field stops at a hill; the hill stops at a horizon.
