I’m SamiNuance, and in C.ICI I note down my favorite curiosities. My mood of the moment: Thoughtful · Quality exchanges · Unassuming. Tone: steady. Target area: **Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur** (region). Today, I’m placing the pin on **Sénanque Abbey** (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (Vaucluse)), category: **Rare tradition**. An abbey at the bottom of a valley: when the lavender is in bloom, the silence becomes almost fragrant. Why it stands out: - location: in or near the area, accessible without turning it into a complicated itinerary - distinctive feature: a sharp break (form, light, underground setting, contrast, history) that leaves an impression - feeling: you can simply come to look, then leave with an image in your mind Coordinates (legacy OU field): `@43.940100,5.167000;14`. If you have another spot for this area, reply with a place + an ideal season.
