There is so much more to Provence than pictures of lavender fields and pretty villages with people playing pétanque and drinking pastis.
A moondial in the Alpilles, a village in the Haut-Var without which Louis XIV might never have been born, a theory that Saint Sarah was actually the daughter of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, a night spent in a bubble or up a tree, a statue of "The worst damned German poet of the lot', a private Coca Cola museum in Avignon, an antipope who disappeared in the Lubéron, a Masonic sundial, a rather unusual marriage door, traces of the Resistance still surviving in Manosque ...

Originally from Marseille and now living in Cassis, Jean-Pierre Cassely worked for television channel France 3 for ten years, developing his interest in sound, video and television (with long-term associate Philippe Carrese). Then one day in Paris he had a eureka moment. Visits to some extraordinary places revealed the secrets of Île Saint-Louis, hidden places in Montmartre, and dark comedy lurking in the Père-Lachaise Cemetery. Returning home on the TGV, Jean-Pierre was already poring over all the anecdotes, old and new, that he had spent his life gathering. His first 'unusual' visit was to the village of Cassis, followed by Marseille, Aix, Sanary and, more recently, Toulon. You can hear Jean-Pierre on France Bleu-Provence during his daily slot called simply "Provence insolite' (Unusual Provence). His style is 'celebs of times past', peppered with humour and the odd scandal. Information about his unusual guided walks (in French) can be found at www.provence-insolite.org
