Hi, we’re Julie and Andy & 35 years ago, we fell in love with the Luberon and Provence, after stumbling across it while ambling around France in a borrowed caravan. Expecting to stay for a couple of days, we found ourselves leaving with just enough time to get back to the Ferry. We were hooked.
A few years ago, we finally achieved our dream of making it our permanent home, renovating our house, and getting further under the skin of the area that we love.
Join us as we travel slowly through Provence, France, and further afield, by bike, on foot, and in Fifi (our vintage Citroen 2 CV).
We hope you enjoy the regular postcards from our life, and slow travel adventures.
