Pascha

France / Provence Local Host

I'm from Holland but planned a move to this region with my husband about 13 years ago. We love raising our family here! Provence is our paradise - beautiful landscapes, historical sites, cultural activities and fun-filled local events and festivals throughout the year.

My Favourite Things to Do

An afternoon of wine tasting and merry making at a local vineyard is an absolute must for my guests.

Therefore, the art of breadmaking - and it is an art - is an activity that you will continually improve upon. Why not have your first lesson here in Provence? It makes for a great story.

It's a perfect combination of shopping, social outing and carnival. After a prompt breakfast, take a tour of the stands, enjoy an aperitif on a sunny terrace, then head home with your purchases. Quintessential Provence!

The rules are relatively easy to follow, much discussion takes place, one team is declared the winner and all enjoy another sip of pastis. You won't believe how much fun this is!
