Since I've been on my travels this week I'm putting up an image I took a couple of months ago. This is a picture of the olive groves just below Châteauneuf. At one time much of the landscape around Grasse looked like this with olive trees all over the place and few houses. These days the villas are everywhere. The laws mean that the olive trees themselves generally remain but you don't get the same expanse of trees as in the old days. As always click on the image to see it enlarged and don't forget to visit of the olive tree blogging archives for further reminders of how nice olive trees are.
