For years, I have been wanting to see those fields with my own eyes and to smell the air filled with lavender scents. Being in Toulouse and kind of stuck in France, last July, I used two days off and a weekend to drive five hours and go there.

An Evening With Geishas
Geishas are associated with many fantasies and stories, but what do you know about them? What if you could learn about their arts and their history? In some rare places like Kanazawa, there are still actual geishas and you can meet them during a show.
