The French la Vie, we believe that the best way to experience the heart of Provence is by exploring its picturesque towns and villages through the eyes of its people. That's why we curate intimate groups of no more than four guests and create a one-week itinerary around handpicked brocantes, stunning landscapes, and charming villages, allowing you to immerse yourself in the Provencal lifestyle.
During your stay, we'll have ripe occasions to connect with antique dealers and visit markets and brocantes. There are so many of them you will lose count! We will visit at least 19 of them, the best of the best. We will take a peek into my antique/brocante friends' homes, who generously invite us into their world, where you can see how they created their homes with their antique finds, share a meal with them, and, of course, we will visit various antique dealers' spaces, and each one will tempt you with their collections. We aim to fill your senses with delicious moments that will fill you with joy, longing, and more to carry the experience for years.
The French la Vie offers a unique voyage of experiencing Provence with someone who has lived in and loved the area for over thirty-five years and who is happy to share what they have come to know as graceful and heartfelt.
