May 31st - June 6th
A Curated Week in Provence
Bonjour et bienvenue !
I invite you to come discover Southern France and gain a new perspective … to discover an appreciation for French culture and the simplicity it embraces. I am an interior designer living in Provence, and look forward to sharing this experience with you. Giving ourselves space to create...slowing down to the rhythm of Provençal life...waking up our senses. Each of us will find magic in Provence where Camus, Picasso, de Staal, and Chagall all lived and worked.
What will you learn, and what will you take home from Provence?
We will be exploring villages of the Luberon, connecting with local artisans, picnicking, biking, hiking, and creating along the way. The creative inspiration will be all around you. Your days will be a wondrous blend of creating time, delightful excursions, cultural experiences, and time to connect with like-minded creatives.
Each evening we will share our experiences of the day. This will be a fun bonding and learning time telling our “ stories” over informal apéros followed by deliciously prepared cuisine by our chef or in the local village.
I hope you will join me!
À bientôt, Beth
