OUR HOUSE IN PROVENCE

We have a beautiful stone village house located in the heart of the medieval village of Sablet in Vaucluse region of Provence France. Dating from the 17th century, the house was beautifully renovated by a local bricklayer and later by an English lady with all of the comforts of a modern home while retaining its authentic Provençal character and charm.

My wife, Shirley, and I live in wine country, in Windsor, California. We have two beautiful daughters - Tricia and Stephanie - and a wonderful son-in-law, and Earl, and five amazing grandchildren Avery, Dylan, Caedon, Madison, and Jilian. I am CEO of Chancellor Health Care, a company which provides housing and services to seniors. I was a co-owner of a popular French bistro called Bistro des Copains located in the charming town of Occidental in Western Sonoma County California. After being in business for nearly 9 years, we closed the Bistro in early 2015. In 2008 after searching for several years and visiting many houses in person and through the internet, we bought a house in the medieval village of Sablet in the Vaucluse region of Provence France.

We also have a blog where we share experiences from our visits along with those of our families and friends to Sablet and the South of France. I love taking pictures of everything we experience as we travel around our beloved Provence and sharing them with all of you, most of you unbeknownst to me, who venture onto our blog. These posts are meant to be informative and entertaining for everyone including you who are lucky enough to live in Provence, those planning a visit to this magical land, or others of you who simply enjoy traveling to Provence through the internet.
