I am planning to takeaFrench class in Spring. I have been Paris once ... for sure I want to go back there again but I am also interested in visiting South of France which I have never been. Hope I visit there next year!
It's a brillant idea ! I live in Toulouse in south of France - we said in french - la ville rose - the Pink city ! because of buildings constructed with a brick !! Beautiful drawing !
Good luck with french, I live in south of France and for my part I would love to come to NY! To answer to your question the flower is bay-tree chock (laurier tin in french or viburnum tinus in latin)
good idea! travelling is always a wonderful thing, isn't it? In France I love the bretagne - île de Baz!! a dream!! (but it's not in the South I'm afraid...) ;-)
* The Center : If you want to see wonderful castles, rivers and forests(and lots of buses with Japaneses and cameras^^), go to the Loire River Valley.(Vallée de la Loire). There are some of the most beautiful castles of France : Chambord, Chenonceau, Amboise, Azay-Le-Rideau, Langeais,.. And the amazing gardens of Villandry. Enter "Chambord, Villandry,..." on Google and watch the pictures. The Loire River Valley is one of the most touristy region. Beautiful rivers, forests, vineyards
* The North West - Bretagne : If you love the sea, you can go in Bretagne(in the North West of France)on the Atlantic coasts.(google "Bretagne mer") Colors are amazing, it could inspired you to paint. You eat a very typical food in Bretagne( sweet or salt crepes, cakes(Kouing amann, "far breton"), sea foods,...). A touristy region with lots of green isles, sand dunes and beautiful pebble and sand beaches. Celtic history. A land of sailors. You can ride on the beach(horses), wallk in the dunes/beach, swim, visit the harbours and admire the painters,... Rennes, Vannes, Belle-île, Brest, Saint-Malo, Quiberon,...

The South East : The coast(beaches, plains) is very different from the hinterland(gorges,plateau) The heat and sunny coast from Marseille to Italia, the Côte d'Azur(Riviera): the Mediterranean Sea, very touristy beaches, glamorous cities(Cannes, Nice, Saint Tropez. Interesting to see them of course, even if these cities are sometimes quite artificial), beautiful markets, a gastronomy(vegetables, sea foods : mediterranean cuisine), Marseille(gastronomy, old harbour,...) and Monaco.
