French la Vie

 

 

When you come to Provence take time to be, time to let Provence get under your skin and into your heart it won't take long. Provence is a place to aimlessly wander, to taste the countryside, to soak in the sounds and to follow your thoughts until they are just a mountain of softness and valleys of delight.

Provence is spread out like a quilt of many colors starting with the sky and everything under it. The blue sea, the olive trees, vineyards, tiled roofs, confit pots, cigales, rosé, rows of lavender, stone walls, painted shutters, scented foothills of rosemary, thyme, pine, and oak.

Let me lead the way, come on I will give you a key to open the source that is Provence.

 

 

Opening hideaway places, visiting private homes and artist's studios.

 

 

 

 

Discovering the history behind antiques, culture and the Provencal lifestyle.

 

 

 

With time to wander to places worthy of painting, and writing poetry.

Or simply weaving this way and that throughout villages.

 

 

 

With time to sip champagne in the middle of the afternoon and have…

 

 

 

Impromptu picnics, and moments to just be in the moment.

 

 

 

To go to as many brocantes as you would want, without worry about how to take your purchases home.

 

 

 

Sharing meals with friends, meals at restaurants and my home where I will cook for you a feast of friendship.

 

 

 

 

To be inspired

 

 

throughout every moment and to be surrounded by happy places.

 

 

To allow you to feel home in a foreign land.

 

 

 

 

 

History connecting you to a never-ending story.

 

 

 

 

Under a tiled roof, comfy-cozy without a care in the world.

 

 

 

Transportation provided, I wish it were this, with a linen canopy and fluffy chunky floral pillows to soften the bumps. Transportation so you can enjoy the scenery without reading a map, nor missing a turn or a sight to remember long after the days have gone by.

 

 

 

May Poppies,

June Lavender,

September Grapes,

October, pumpkins

Everyday landscapes to discover.

My favorite time of the year, May for flowers, Winter for calm, June for a touch of summer, October for the markets…

The weekends for the brocantes.

Today because it is what I have.
