Summer has started!



The meteorological summer has started! 🌞The days are warm and sunny, the evenings still pleasantly cool. No air conditioning necessary yet. Lunch and late breakfast are mostly being served on the terrace and the guests very much enjoy the view of the valley with its sparkling new greenery.

Our usually quiet little square was very lively recently: for a few days a film crew has taken over. They are filming “Deux Anges”. A movie about two angels coming to earth. Le Parage is the perfect spot for such a film.
Being next to the shooting location, La Sentinelle was turned into work spaces for the make-up and costume departments. Actors are rushing in and out getting ready for their scenes.
June 1 saw even more activity on Place du Père Clinchard: the soirée des Miracles organised by the Mairie. Long tables, live music and Mediterranean food.

“Getting ready” also applies to the organizers of numerous events that are on the agenda in Provence during the summer months to come.

In Les Arcs the village square will no doubt be as crowded as it has been in years passed when the Fête de la Musique takes place on June 21, the longest day.
Lovers of jazz and pop rock can enjoy what is musically on offer. The restaurants offer special dishes and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

The famous wine château Sainte Roseline - which is just around the corner from La Sentinelle - offers as always an impressive summer programme. A must go are “Les Afters du château”, events with a range of different themes. “After” refers to relaxing after work and relaxing these events certainly are!

Château Saint-Esprit, also located at a short distance from La Sentinelle, offers a similar event every Wednesday evening: music and wine amid the vineyards Food trucks on site and entertainment for children.

Of course, there will be much more on offer in the months to come. Information about festivals and events will soon be added to the La Sentinelle website.
