Today on Frizztexts A to Z challenge, we are on the letter F
F could be for …Florence, Fontevraud, Fontfroide, Forcalquier, Freyburg, to name a few from my travels in Europe.
However, I have chosen the hamlet of Fox Amphoux, in the Var department of Provence, a very attractive little place. Stopped off there on the way back from Forcalquier, which we had visited for the market.
I found Fox Amphoux most photogenic, and hardly a soul about the place in the late afternoon.
Street in Fox Amphoux
A picturesque little corner:
Climbing rose and shutters, Fox Amphoux
The church clock tells us it was 4.15….
Church Tower, Fox Amphoux
Hope you enjoyed this snapshot of a place beginning with F. More over at Frizz’s blog here.

fun, fascinating and not an ounce of frou-frou
Fippin’ fantastic and fabulous, even…
looks very peaceful, all the natives having a zzzz…?
Must have been, the place was deserted!
I like the church tower shot 🙂
Thank you…I took some time trying to get all the elements I wanted in it, such as the lamp and the sundial as well as the bell and clock. So much detail in that place…
Indeed, it does look like there was a lot there.
You find the such fascinating off-the-beaten-track spots for us, Sue.
I have always loved maps,reading up about places and planning holidays… the more so for finding interesting places to photograph.. It’s great to be able to share some of these. Perhaps I might inspire a few people to visit some of these places, who knows?
We have been fortunate enough to have driven around quite a bit of Europe and the freedom to explore freely is such a bonus. One of my favourites was the small village of St-Marsal in the foothills of the Pyrenees in Languedoc region. Moments you can’t plan for, they just come together and unfold – my kind of travel. I too scour the maps before going 🙂
I agree regarding having the freedom to explore, and the moments you can’t plan for…completely my kind of travel. Some of my best memories come from things unfolding…in France, Germany, Romania, Cuba to name a few…
hi Sue,
again your great intro style: “F could be for …Florence, Fontevraud, Fontfroide, Forcalquier, Freyburg…” – you remembered me, that I’ve been in Frankfurt.
Ah, Frankfurt am Main, and Frankfurt an der Oder…been through both, no photos!
What a strange place name, Sue! Any idea where it came from?
Looks rather nice 🙂
It is a lovely little place, and I haven’t been able to find out where the curious name came from….
A gorgeous place Sue. I love the first, with those ubiquitous blue shutters and the urn embedded in the wall.
Those pottery planters on the wall were on a few houses, and very unique. I liked them a lot
