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.

We have come to Villefranche, with our walking shoes and clothes for walking in all-weathers (after our trip to Antibes last month, we hav decided that it’s better to be safe than sorry) Happily, today was destined to be dry and bright, so after breakfast, we pulled on our shoes and set off to walk … More Exploring the coast between Nice and Villefranche.
