Exploring quaint villages during travel to various regions can be quite intriguing. Meandering stone passageways often ignites a sense of curiosity. Viewing doorways, I seek out details that provide insights into the lives of the residents within and frequently discover elements that reflect their lifestyles. The inspiration for ‘Hidden Paths’ originated from discovering Seguret, a charming village located in Provence, while trekking through the south of France.
