Hidden in the Heart of Provence"

About Me

I am a grandmother [recently, once-again] who is quite prepared for retirement from a successful career of hosting and managing a French country Bed and Breakfast in the heart of Provence. My "chambres d'hotes" began out of my belief that I could better raise my four children by leaving my law practice, staying at home, and converting our house into a home-away-from-home for tourists. It has worked, I'm pleased to say, and it continues to be most rewarding.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


  Henry James, Colette, Paul Auster, Edith Wharton, and many of my other favorite writers .... but I am afraid that they might not turn out to be as interesting people as I have imagined through their books.

  I have always enjoyed my career because it allows me to meet so many interesting 'real' people -- not imagined -- from so many interesting places. The people who visit this blog are similar, in a way, to the travellers who have visited my B&B.
