‘They say it is the Venice of the Alps’ Welcome to the land of cheese… We drove up from Provence to Annecy that lays in the southern eastern French Alps for a few nights. It was change of scenery from pale Rosé, foie gras and escargot to mountain tips covered with snow, glistering lake views…

‘Bleached Beauty, Cisternino’
‘Charming little Gem in the heart of the trulli region’ Cisternino is a sweet little town in the province of Brindisi located right next to other gems, such as Martina Franca and Locorondo.
