Testimonials:
“We just had the most magical day with Jamie in Lourmarin. Starting with a coffee and a chat, we heard the insiders secrets of the markets which was both interesting and humorous. We then strolled through the markets seeing things in a totally different way and it really made sense then. We had a colourful visit to the Chateau Lourmarin who’s history was totally fantastic mesmerizing followed by the most magical rose tasting in the sunshine on the Chateau terrace learning all about the Rose of Provence & France. Jamie is well informed ( due to his books on the subjects ) and delivers his knowledge through the most humorous of ways. It was an excellent day, truly captivating Provence life and everyone is raving about it. Thank you Provence Guru for a day to remember.” Adi
