Autumn in Provence

Join us for an autumn visit to Provence. The mornings are cooling, and the warm afternoon sun is lying low in the sky. The markets are brimming with produce of orange and gold; the cooking is gentle, slower, and the inside gatherings are warm and welcoming. This is Provence in autumn. Start your season off right with a gathering in our kitchen making an authentic meal with recipes collected on our annual visits to the region. A perfect fall meal you can create for your family and friends.
