Bonjour! I am Kaye
Since moving to Provence, I’ve quickly had to learn the ins and outs of this beautiful region—no small feat in a new language! My blog started as a way to organise all my copious notes and discoveries, so if they are useful to others visiting the area, then dive right in.
I’ve always been a seeker of the best in food, design, and decor, often finding hidden gems even locals don’t know. Provence is a treasure trove of inspiration for painters, writers, cooks, and creatives—if you come, bring your materials and your appetite!
Living here is a daily joy—world-class food, wine, chic fashion, flea market treasures, stunning scenery, and charming villages. It’s everything I love, and I’m excited to share what I’ve learned. My goal is to help others discover the best of Provence, just as I have.
Curious how I ended up here? Check out the story of my journey—more to come!
