Upcoming issues 2008

Great things are afoot for 2008. New readers subscribe all the time and the VVV is expanding its horizons in numerous directions, including with this revamped, more reader-friendly website. In addition the VVV website now carries a comprehensive rental accommodation listing covering the Var. Listing on the VVV Website is free to subscribers.

Recent changes have included adding colour pages and colour advertising, the better to accommodate all the range and diversity of events that happen in the Var - art, music, theatre, village festivities - throughout the year.

Art shows
Last year saw the start of a series of monthly Art Shows in the VVV JAZZ ATTIC, located at the VVV's headquarters,buried in the countryside. This followed on from the art show held the previous year for artist Jonathan Brown, displaying his very original works. To see some of those works just follow the link from his website at: www.villaparasol.com to Anita's Jazz Attic.

Now monthly Art Shows are held in the Jazz Attic from May to September, featuring original art from the years 1900 - around 1960, featuring different artists, different styles, at low to reasonable prices, many of which find happy buyers, for example a Le Roy painting that sold recently.

Upcoming feature articles
Upcoming issues will feature articles on the French Inheritance Law Reform 2007 and the
subsequent possible fall out affecting properties and ownership, Satnav navigation systems and how to install them, plus useful allied information on speed traps, and loads of useful computer information and know-how.

In addition a revised 'Weddings in Provence' article is in the planning stages. This article proved immensely popular last year, reprints being requested from as far away as Australia, as Brides-to-be in the UK and elsewhere got down to the planning of their 'Big' event, right here in Provence.

Plus plans are afoot to feature more wonderful Var gardens, and interior décor - how new arrivals have refurbished their houses.
