This is the private terrace of a guest gite.  It is in a wonderful setting with the ubiquitous flowers and the gorgeous scenery of Provence.

Village Terrace

The upper terrace of the hilltop is held in place with the stone wall on the right.  However the lane is blocked by the terrace, so immediately the road turns into one way.  If you enlarge the picture, you will see the old wall of the village and the narrow gateway in the wall.  It is quaintness like this that adds charm to Provencal villages.
