Hello!
I am a Franco-American married to a Frenchman and have lived and breathed the French lifestyle and brocantes for over thirty years in Provence.
I am passionate about old things and enjoy sharing my experience and connections with others. When you come along on a French la Vie, you will meet like-minded people who create with and collect antiques. We will be inspired by visiting private homes, shops, and studios in the Provençal countryside. Meeting the French in their intimate, off-the-beaten path to shop and dive deeper into the French lifestyle.
This truly is a one-of-a-kind journey.

We will wander through villages often on cobbled streets,
though we will not be climbing steep hills,
nor thousands of stone steps.
Nevertheless, you must be able to keep up with the group.
Please bring your smile and positive attitude to share with others.
We will stop by two Provençal markets that will fill your senses!
Color, fragrance, a landscape of texture and taste.
Honey, Lavender, Provencal tablecloths, Cigalles, Olives, Linens, Baskets, Wine, Cheeses…
Private Tailored Groups
If you would like to organize a private group, it is possible too.
No matter the size of your group.
I can create a unique tailored group for couples, a group up to six, and for larger groups,
I have teamed up with Red Shed Tours with their Provençal and Brittany travels.
One must be in good physical shape and able to walk and carry their purchases on average 5000 steps daily.
