Journeys / France / 12 days / Tailored Reserve
Paris ateliers, then the Luberon
A working week among Parisian makers and private collections, then a slow fortnight's worth of Provence compressed into five unhurried days.
A morning at a bookbinder's bench, a private foundation opened for four people, and a village market with the chef who buys there.
An apartment-hotel in the sixth with a lift, a car and driver in Provence, and lunch booked everywhere you will want it.
Pace Two bases in twelve days, flat walking in Paris, and afternoons deliberately left empty.
The France trip for a second or third visit: no monuments, no coach, and no day that starts before you do.
The shape of it
- Days 1–5, Paris. Ateliers and studios by arrangement — binding, ceramics, instrument making. A private foundation or collection. A market morning and a cooking lunch. One free day, on purpose.
- Day 6, the train south. First class to Avignon, met on the platform.
- Days 7–11, the Luberon. A mas with a pool. Villages, a truffle farm, a contemporary art foundation in a quarry, and a driver for all of it.
- Day 12, home. Marseille or Nice, depending on the flight that suits you.
