FRQ_01 [30 points]
Three of the four space invaders in the little friendly town of Forcalquier is a cigale (cricket). This one is located on the corner of the Place du Bourguet and Rue Louis Andrieux.
Around the 8th of April 2017 the friendly little town of Forcalquier has been visited by Invader and he left in total 4 space invaders here with a total score of 100 points. Forcalquier is located between the Lure and Luberon mountain ranges, about 30 km south of Sisteron and 10 km west of the Durance river. In the Middle Ages it was the capital of Haute-Provence.
I was lucky a classic Citroën CX parked right in front of FRQ_01. This car is an executive car produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1974 to 1991. Citroën sold nearly 1.2 million CXs during its 16 years of production. The CX was voted European Car of the Year in 1975. The name CX is the French equivalent abbreviation of Cd for drag coefficient in English, drawing attention to the car's aerodynamic styling, which was uncommon in 1974. [ Wikipedia -Citroën CX ]

Una breve gitarella in Provenza per vedere la lavanda in fiore.
Partiti di buon mattino, dopo l'immancabile croissant appena sfornato consumato a Jausiers, siamo arrivati a Forcalquier verso le 10. Con nostra grande sorpresa e disappunto, all'ufficio del turismo ci dicono che la lavanda è già stata raccolta. Mia moglie, che in fatto di lavanda è più preparata della pur gentile signorina dell'ufficio turistico, si fa dare una carta de "Les routes de la lavande" e spiega all'esterefatta impiegata che, secondo lei, nella zona più a nord di Forcalquier la lavanda deve essere ancora raccolta.
Detto fatto, si parte per Banon e, dopo una serie di campi già perfettamente tosati, ecco apparire le prime fioriture e poi via via, distese sempre più ampie con quelle meravigliose tonalità di blu e con il profumo intenso portato dal vento.
Ancora una volta l'articolo 1 della Costituzione di casa nostra è stato rispettato. Tale articolo dice: "La moglie ha sempre ragione, anche quando pare aver torto"
Detto per inciso, a Banon si produce un formaggio di capra che poi viene stagionato in foglie di castagno e di quercia: una squisitezza!!!!! (anche se il profumo non ha niente a che vedere con la lavanda...)
In questa foto la raccolta nei pressi di Simiane-la-Rotonde.

A bit of the Provence in the shopping district in Paris on a very appropriate location and with a wink to the 'Invasion of Forcalquier' which took place in April 2017.
