My friends Wendy, Thomas and I met Christine Boulet as we were coming from Cezanne’s studio last Tuesday night.  As we passed Christine, she needed change for a parking meter - we ended up having a conversation and she later joined us for dinner.   As we discussed Mont Sainte Victoire, Christine said she could take us right up to the mountain that evening, if we wanted.

Well, we did that - go right up to the base of Mont Sainte Victoire at dusk, and that led me to cancel my trip to Nice the following day and accompany Christine on a tour of Bibemus plateau which I have a lot of footage I just published.

And here’s my evening at the base of Mont Sainte Victoire at dusk with my friends.
