As you stroll down Rue des Rosiers in Paris, you can feel the vibrant, sparkling atmosphere along the cobblestone street, punctuated with the laughter from café terraces and snippets of shopkeepers’ conversations. In the spring, the climbing rose bushes flower in clusters. The wind stirs their pompom blossoms and swirls their refreshing scent with the sweet, tangy smell of pastries.
The burning sun and the blinding light of Tuscany add to the charm of the cypress-lined terraces. The hottest hour of the day is the best time to sink into the soft shade of the lemon trees and reread a few passages from Memoirs of Hadrian.
The waning daylight is an invitation to halt in the ochre hills of Tuscany. At this very moment, the evening reveals fragrances in all their glory. The warm notes of cypress waft from the undergrowth creating an impression of everlasting peace, as the scent of the lemon trees rolls down the hillside. A typical Italian landscape and the setting of Memoirs of Hadrian.
