They can be spotted from far away, with their blossom-laden branches, like arms lifted towards the sun. Here, they keep a borie company, there a chapel, a hut, a lavender field (which is still slumbering \ud83d\ude09)\u2026<br><br><strong>Our favourite little places: <\/strong>the almond tree at the
