Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.1 A stroll through the winding streets of this Provencal village, a former winner of the "Plus Beau Village de France" award.
2 The views across the Golfe de St Tropez to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. About the same distance as Tottenham are from the summit of the Premiership.
3 The quiet life in a village rich in history but now a calm backwater of no significance. Sounds familiar.
4 Dinner at the Domaine de l'Astragale, where the restaurant "combines local produce with the delicately flavoured herbs of the region".
5 Black truffles, bought from the market held in nearby Aups every Thursday between November and February. As sweet as a Tottenham victory and almost as rare.
6 A bottle of wine from one of the seven local vineyards.
7 A climb up La Sauvette, at 2,556ft the tallest peak in the nearby Massif des Maures. Ideal preparation for a Christian Gross training session.
8 The chance for reflection in the Chapelle Notre Dame de la Compassion.
9 The lighthouse at Cap Camarat, which can be seen by boats at sea nearly 40 miles away.
10 Sunshine.
