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.

Sometimes, on a long bike ride, we find we have a day that just feels a bit more hard work than others. And for some reason – today was the day. We woke with the sunrise, aiming to get pedalling shortly after 8, hoping to avoid the worst heat of the day. After spending last … More Devon to Provence By Bike, Day 16: Vineyards and villages, through to Capestang
