Why We Love Provence
And You Will Too!

[gr-columns][gr-column type=”1/3″]
It may be a cliché, this region has captivated centuries of artists, dreamers and do-ers for a reason. Or actually many reasons—it’s stunningly beautiful, good food and wine are abundant, and it’s filled with people who love what they do—whatever they do. From the producers we meet at farmer’s markets to the artisans keeping ancient traditions alive, Provence is amazing source of inspiration, no matter what you’re interest may be.
[/gr-column][gr-column type=”1/3″]
We based on groups trips around the experiences we loved the most when we first started exploring Provence. So we’ll hit some of the best village markets, introduce you to some of favorite shops in each city we visit and, of course, schedule exclusive appointments with studios, artisans and more. It will be a busy, entertaining, and inspiring week—and one we hope will become profitable for you upon your return home.

Our home for this trip is at the foot of the Alpilles, a small “mountain” range that starts just outside the southern part of St. Remy. With wonderful common spaces and spacious bedrooms, our estate features lovely private grounds and a heated pool, which we encourage everyone to experience. The tour is set up for single occupancy, but if you’re traveling with a companion, just let us know.
