'Au Coeur de l'Olivier' - this is the atelier and gallery of Julien Mehmed, the olive wood sculptor. Known as Julien des bois, he opened this studio in rue du Château in 1959. He's fascinated by the history of Roquebrune and is always happy to share his knowledge. Come back tomorrow and see Julien at work.
I guess I don't know him or his work. It should be interesting tomorrow, for me.
ReplyDeleteVery nice village this Roquerbrune. In the next few days I think to take a visit because it is very beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThat's the word "spell". This view of the old interior with the wood carving work is really charming.
