With winter's chill just a whisper away, it's time again to plan a Provence tour in the spring! Nothing will put you in better spirits than knowing that you, cherie, will be exploring Provençal markets, chic shops and brocantes to your heart's content. And that you will experience Provencal life and its many beautiful aspects from a designer's point of view, knowing that every detail is taken care of for you. A little luxury in Provence will soothe the soul.
We are quite excited to announce our second annual springtime Chic Provence Design Tour to the heart of Provence, l'Isle sur la Sorgue, for May 11-18, 2012. You will find incomparable inspiration for your Provence design ideas and projects on our tour in the company of like-minded souls!
C'est fantastique! Cherie, you must join us! You know you want to. You need this trip! You must enjoy a Provence Tour this 2012!
one of the stunning bedrooms that awaits
you at your Provençal villa... sweet slumber!
our villa courtyard... this is where we'll do
our morning yoga and stretching & have our cafe au lait
if it's just too sunny outside, a little couch time
with a good book might be just the thing... sipping
a little Bandol, perhaps?
one of the lovely surprises that are an
everyday sight on a Provence tour, the land
that celebrates beauty in all things
we'll have an afternoon tea in the
stunning courtyard of
Mas d'Ange (House of the Angel)
perhaps just a quick stop at an
incredible confiserie provençale to
stock up for our breakfast treats;
your Provence tour will delight you
every moment!

one of the lovely views of the Provence

ah! we arrive at the Cafe de France
in l'Isle sur la Sorgue
just in time for le dejeuner after a
busy morning at the brocante!
we'll take an electric bicycle ride
through the vineyards... and stop for
wine tastings along the way!
I love this mairie, the town hall, of
l'Isle sur la Sorgue
I loved this mid-century upholstered
canape at the brocante.. look at those
colors! When I circled back it was gone!
some simple ironworks artifacts... wonderful
for shipping home, because they don't break!
this vendor specializes in vintage silver only!
basque stripe fabric is everywhere at the markets in Provence in the spring!
these two jugs made their way back to my home after our last Provence tour!
perhaps you will need one of these,
hmmm cherie? baskets from
the French Basketeer!
no Provence tour is complete
without one!
no Provence tour is complete
without one!
... and no Provence tour is complete without at least
one culinary adventure... a cooking class, cherie!
and this one is in a chateau!
another day we will spend a gorgeous
few hours in this beautiful hotel, having
a cooking lesson if you like, or
stopping in for lunch or tea
can you smell the lavender yet?
