Had lunch in Hotel St Hubert - Sainte Saturnin-les-Apt in the Luberon yesterday.

We just stumbled across the place. Turns out that it was featured in Floyd on France in 1987.

The restaurant has changed chefs since then, but the new chef is amazing.

Looked at the website and they have this video up.

Great for getting a feel for Provence - And amazingly, though much has changed, much has remained the same.

1. Thanks for sharing your memories

2. My pleasure. Today is the first day of autumn and we actually had rain in Provence.

When that happens everyone walks around going: 'What did I do? It's raining!'

3. Nice memories of rain as well, it's been almost a year

without rain in my location in the Arizona desert.

4. Been to the town but not the rest. My GPS kept calling it 'Saint Saturnine lez apartment.'

5. That's funny - Before lunch we went to Colorado Provencal just down the road

7. Have you also been to Roussillon? Beautiful hills like that.

8. Oh, yes. Lovely village and hills. A bit tamer for tourists.

Completely packed in the summer.

6. Merci!

9. Je vous en prie.

I have to get another account so I can post pictures. Photobucket is such a hassle.

Though you can see some of my recent photos of France here https://www.instagram.com/samgish3/

10. I agree; photobucket used to be useful,

but they lost me, so haven't posted pics here 'recently.'

Will check your instagram.

11. I actually like the Instagram format - takes me back to the first camera I had -

A really cheap twin lens reflex that used 120 film. 2 1/4 square in black and white. Taught me a lot about composition and how to 'make pictures', though I didn't really know what that term meant until perhaps fiftenn years ago when I started working as assistant to a 'professional photographer'.

I've been following Peter Turnley on Facebook, who's just amazing and an inspiration. He studied with Robert Doisneau.
