On the other side of the earth, 20, 000 kilometers away from the French mainland, the atmosphere of southern France is everywhere.


In the millet-white architecture, Mediterranean-style shops that sometimes jump into sight are painted with lemon yellow, salmon powder and mint green with crayon-like freshness. Chic streets, French breads in grocery shops and cafes, vaguely pronounced French under coconut trees, and even downtown squares and street gardens are rife with southern French ball-rolling games-the shadows of France everywhere.
