You're invited ! Announcing 2025 Foraging Provence Dates
/
Bonjour from the South of France! I’m Beth an expat and interior designer now living in the South of France. I have grown to love the simplicity of the Provençal lifestyle of slowing down, time spent in nature, connected with the seasons. My passion is sharing this beautiful way of life with others and my inspiration for creating Foraging Provence. More than a retreat, it’s a bespoke tour and intimate experience of a hidden Provence. This immersive, creative experience is designed for those who wish to enjoy Provence as a local in two of its best seasons - late spring, early summer for the lavender, poppies, and cherries and autumn for the truffles, mushrooms, and vibrant foliage.
We are thrilled to announce our Foraging Provence dates for 2025. You are invited to explore the quaint villages of the Luberon, connect with local artisans, picnic, e-bike, hike, and create along the way. Your days will be a wondrous blend of creative workshops, delightful excursions, cultural experiences, and time to connect with other like-minded creatives. Every detail is thought out and taken care of for you to simply experience and enjoy!
Join us for a dreamy week in the Provence !
