If you come to Provence take time to be time to let Provence get under your skin and into your heart. Provence is a place to wander, taste the countryside, soak in the sounds, and follow your thoughts until they are just a mountain of softness and valleys of delight.
Provence is spread out like a quilt of many colors starting with the sky and everything between it and the blue sea, from the olive trees, vineyards, tiled roofs, confit pots, cigales, and rosé, and rows of lavender and stone walls.
Let me lead the way come I will give you a key to open the source of sweetness that is Provence.
Opening hideaway places, and visiting private homes and artist's studios.
Discovering the history behind antiques, culture, and the Provencal lifestyle.
With time to wander in places worthy to paint and feel poetic.
Sip Champagne in the middle of the afternoon while the cicadas sing.
Impromptu picnics, and moments to just be in the moment.
To go to as many brocantes as you would want without worrying about how to take your purchases home.
Meals with my friends, meals at restaurants, and at my home, where the feast is friendship.
To be inspired.
Throughout every moment to be surrounded by happy places.
To feel at home in a foreign land.
Where history connects you to a never-ending story.
Under a tiled roof, comfy-cozy wonder goodness.
Transportation provided, I wish it were this,
with a linen canopy and fluffy, oversized pillows to soften the bumps.
Transportation so you can enjoy the scenery without reading a map, or missing a turn.
May Poppies,
June Lavender,
September Grapes,
October, pumpkins,
Everyday beauty to discover.
My favorite time of the year is anytime there is a brocante.
I am planning 2023 dates for the French la Vie.But first, if you have a group that wants to join me (four people)or if you want to do a private couples visit let me knowso I can set the dates for you before planning other dates.
And if you are in Provence just come by and say hi!
Beautiful and you always share with us your joy of living
Love always

Is this a number puzzle? What's its solution? Are they common at brocantes?

I've been to some of Provence & loved it, this was before I met you Corey. I've been reading books about an English couple buying a derelict house in Seven Valleys in the North West & have loved learning about another part of France.

Oh Corey, this just looks so serene and peaceful! I would love to enjoy this and be stress-free with a glass of wine or champagne! What would it cost for myself and 1 friend (2 ladies) to do this? Do you have any insights to low air fares from Houston, TX?

Dear Corey, I am attempting several times to reach you today regarding your one open spot on the tour at the beginning of September. Evidently, they are not going through at coreyamaro@yahoo,com . If this reaches you, can you connect with me? I sent three emails today.
Sincerely, Jacque Lynn
