The Trouble Notes - Grand Masquerade (Live Château de Sauvan)
The “Grand Masquerade” is the paradox of our everyday life, forced to hide our true selves from the social and familiar norms of society. Be it a political dissident lurking in the shadows of an oppressive regime, a daughter hiding her ambition from a patriarchal society, a son desiring to escape a career path encouraged by his family, or an adolescent terrified of the reactions of friends and family to his or her sexuality, every society creates a need to mask our true selves. This video was filmed in the Château de Sauvan, also called the Petit Trianon of Provence, which was built in 1719 by Joseph-Palamidi de Forbin-Janson, who died in 1728. No other castle of this type is still existing in the Provence area. In 1975, it has been classified as a historic Monument. Its park and its current gardens received the « remarkable garden » label.
This video was filmed and edited by Stephan Hillairet from Drone Pixels, based in the South of France, who has a company specialized in audiovisual and aerial imaging works.
He filmed our video together with Fabien Belmonte who is a photographer and free-lance video-maker since 2008, also based in the south of France.
A special Thank You goes out to our friend Denis Gankine, who made this collaboration possible and is our Godfather in Aix-en-Provence.

[F] Domaine du Grand Tinel, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, in French
*Come on a Wine Tour with us!* --- Interview with Olivier the oenologue at the Domaine du Grand Tinel in Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhone valley in France.
We are visiting just when the harvest is in ongoing, so there is plenty of work (and noise) in the cellar. They have just brought in all the grapes from the vineyards. This is the vintage of 2007 which was very successful in Chateauneuf since it was not subject to the damaging rain that they had in other regions of France.
The Dom. du Grand Tinel is a family property since several generations. They also have a winery called Clos Saint Paul with 14 hectares. They have some 75 ha at Grand Tinel, some 60 ha in Chateauneuf and the rest in Cotes du Rhone. The vineyards are planted primarily with grenache, syrah, counoise and muscardin (very unusual) and some cinsault. Olivier is making his first vintage in Chateauneuf and has previously worked in Mendoza in Argentina.
The language is French [F]

SUMMARY
=======
Provence (, US: ; French: [pʁɔvɑ̃s]; Provençal: Provença in classical norm or Prouvènço in Mistralian norm, pronounced [pʀuˈvɛnsɔ]) is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France, which extends from the left bank of the lower Rhône River to the west to the Italian border to the east, and is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It largely corresponds with the modern administrative région of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and includes the départements of Var, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and parts of Alpes-Maritimes and Vaucluse. The largest city of the region is Marseille.
The Romans made the region the first Roman province beyond the Alps and called it Provincia Romana, which evolved into the present name. Until 1481 it was ruled by the Counts of Provence from their capital in Aix-en-Provence, then became a province of the Kings of France. While it has been part of France for more than five hundred years, it still retains a distinct cultural and linguistic identity, particularly in the interior of the region.
