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.

It’s really strange to think that tomorrow, we’ll be pedalling along the Veloroute du Calavon, through The Luberon, arriving home after riding over 1200km, since leaving East Budleigh, just two and a half weeks ago. Today was always going to be a strange day, as we would be riding through a place we really dislike, … More Devon to Provence by Bike Day 18: Cycling the Camargue and Flamingo Spotting
