The lovely old Plane trees are looked after here better than the buildings seem to be. The paintwork on the shutters is peeling. there are huge cracks in many of the old stone walls, and render falling off. Some of the buildings are so undermined by the water beneath that they have to be propped up wit robust metalwork. There is so much character and charm that it is a pleasure to visit

Cotignac this morning when there was a large bric-a-bac market throughout the village. It was very busy indeed. The water fountain is called the Fontaine des Quatre Saisons (Fountain of the Four Seasons) and is a very old original feature in the village
Der Hyde Park hat viele schöne alte große Bäume und nach dem hektische Straßenverkehr tat es richtig gut durch den Hyde Park zum Hotel zu gehen.
The Hyde Park has many beautiful old large trees and after hectic traffic it was relaxing to go through Hyde Park to the hotel.
The towpaths along the shady plane trees on the Canal du Midi are now used by walkers and cyclists. At the time the photo was taken, some of the trees were already infested with the so-called plane tree cancer (Ceratocystis platani). As a result, all the plane trees in the infested sections of the canal had to be felled and burnt. Unfortunately, only partial reforestation has taken place. As a result, the area is now exposed to the bright sun.

Schattenallee
Die Treidelpfade entlang Schatten spendender Platanen am Canal du Midi werden heute von Wanderern und Radfahrern genutzt. Zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme waren die Bäume teilweise schon vom sog. Platanenkrebs (Ceratocystis platani) befallen. Daher müssen in den befallenen Abschnitten des Kanals alle Platanen gefällt und verbrannt werden. Leider wurde erst teilweise wieder aufgeforstet. Deshalb ist man heute an diesem Ort der grellen Sonne ausgesetzt.

Platanus × acerifolia, Platanus × hispanica, or hybrid plane, is a tree in the genus Platanus. It is often known by the synonym London plane or London planetree. It is a hybrid of Platanus orientalis (oriental plane) and Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore).
The London plane is a large deciduous tree growing 20–30 m tall, with a trunk up to 3 m or more in circumference. The bark is usually pale grey-green, smooth and exfoliating, or buff-brown and not exfoliating. The leaves are thick and stiff-textured, broad, palmately lobed, superficially maple-like.
The flowers are borne in one to three (most often two) dense spherical inflorescences on a pendulous stem, with male and female flowers on separate stems.
The fruit matures in about 6 months, to 2–3 centimetres diameter, and comprises a dense spherical cluster of achenes with numerous stiff hairs which aid wind dispersal; the cluster breaks up slowly over the winter to release the numerous 2–3 mm seeds. The London Plane is one of the most efficient trees in removing small particulate pollutants in urban areas.
The London plane is one of 50 Great British Trees that the Tree Council selected in 2002 in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. The list specifically mentions Britain's first London plane being in the city of Ely, Cambridgeshire.
The London plane is very tolerant of atmospheric pollution and root compaction, and for this reason it is a popular urban roadside tree. It was planted extensively in Victorian times to weather the pollution of London. It is now extensively cultivated in most temperate latitudes as an ornamental and parkland tree, and is a commonly planted tree in cities throughout the temperate regions of the world, in London and many other cities.

We stopped by in Aups early evening yesterday for a drink on our way home after a day out on the Lac de Sainte Croix and the Gorge du Verdon. Aups is a small typical Provençal market town about a 20 minute drive from Cotignac. It has tons of charm with winding backstreets and the very old church you can see with the entrance sheltered by two platane (plane) trees and the ancient water fountain in the foreground.

I was walking back from the boulangerie this morning with my daily baguette and noticed that the village boules club was set up with a trestle table and advertising by Credit Agricole for what I presume is a boules tournament this afternoon. All of the different 'lanes' for each boules game were newly marked out. I thought it presented such a lovely typical Provençal scene especially with the framing of the plane trees which are magnificently holding on to their autumn leaves. It's been a gorgeous few days but from tomorrow we have what looks like five to six days of rainy and increasingly cold weather. I suppose I have to take the rough with the (very) smooth.
