Mama Claude’s house is in a pretty bucolic setting. The advantage of being on the edge of the village is that the private garden space backs on to farmers’ fields, and the morning view from my bedroom window is a soothing start to the day.
The front of the house couldn’t be more different.
Saint-Cannat is the convergence of highway traffic from Aix, Arles, and Avignon and as vehicles enter and leave the village in front of the house, their speed is far above the 50 km limit, with what seems to be an inordinate amount of trucks and motorcycles on the road.
This should change in the next few years, as a highway bypass route is scheduled to be built by 2015.
By then the only disturbance to the peace will come from the neighbour’s yard.
Don’t be fooled by those floppy ears and doe eyes - these guys are TROUBLE.

I get a real sense of the sounds you hear everyday. Birdies, blaring horns and barking.
