I am British and based in northern Italy but travel frequently to Provence to visit my French family. I adore discovering hidden gems and sharing them with clients, such as the bistrot in Saignon serving home-made vegetable tarts with a chilled glass of rosé and the café in Bonnieux offering tantalising local produce with a hidden terrace to the rear where you can sip your café creme and ponder the panoramic view over the Luberon. 

Favourite villages are charming Ansouis with its picturesque castle, encircled by stone houses and nearby Cucuron – like a Van Gogh painting with its majestic ‘platane’ trees reflected in the long village pond.

Arriving in Aix-en-Provence in 2001, with a young family, I started a holiday rental business and later founded my tour company ‘Discover Provence’ which I ran for 10 years. After 30 years in France I am now back in my natal London. I maintain strong ties with Provence and have a deep-rooted passion and extensive knowledge of the region.

My favourite place in Provence is the monastery ‘St Paul de Mousole’ St Remy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh spent the last year of his life and painted over 153 of his most famous oeuvres. It is a place, full of atmosphere, passion, creativity and beauty.

With over two decades of travel to the South of France, my intimate knowledge of and deep passion for the region and the properties themselves enables me to guide visitors to the best fit for their needs in Provence.

Out of the constellation of perched villages in the Luberon, Ménerbes, often synonymous with Peter Mayle, holds a special place in my heart. As for towns, nothing compares to Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the “Venice of Provence”, with its canals and working waterwheels from the 18th century, as well as its rich and colorful open-air market which attracts visitors from near and far.
