Your Friend in Provence, Formerly Maison Pépouze

Some of my favourite places in Provence are not the ones you see on postcards.

They are places where we create memories.
A birthday picnic in a wild Camargue beach.

The sound of the waves.
The wind.
Simple food shared together.
Time slowing down.

And, of course … a few grains of sand finding their way into the tomate mozza, and a parasol that briefly decided it wanted to become a kite. 😃

But that’s part of the magic.

Because the best memories are not allays perfect.

They are the moment you laugh about afterwards.

This is also Provence.

Beyond the famous villages and must-see places, there is a Provence made of small moments.

The kind of moments you remember long after your trip is over.

This is the Provence I live. And this is the Provence I want to share with you.

Some places are meant to be felt, no just visited.

Your Provence, Your Pace



You want to wander.
Take your time.
Discover the places where life still feels local.



You want movement.
Nature.
Hidden landscapes and unforgettable views.



You believe Provence is also tasted.
Through its markets, producers and shared moments.



You want stories.
Culture.
A deeper connection with the place you visit.

Whatever your way of travelling,
Provence has story for you.

This is the Provence most visitors never see.

Not every Provence memory comes with a famous name.
Sometimes, it’s a river on a hot summer day.
A natural slide.
Children laughing.
A place you would never have found on a « must1see » list.

Some places are not meant to be rushed.
They are meant to be experienced.

This is the Provence I love sharing.

Maison Pépouze is becoming Your Friend in Provence.

Maison Pépouze welcomed thousands of travelers over the years, and many of you became much more than guests. You became part of our story.

That chapter is now closed, but the connection remains.

Today, I’m launching Your Friend in Provence, a more personal way of helping travelers discover this region through local knowledge, tailored itineraries and authentic experiences.

If you stayed at Maison Pépouze, thank you. Your trust is the reason this new project exists.

And if you’re new here, welcome. I’d love to help you experience Provence differently.

C'est le moment de vous dire au revoir.

Pendant des années, mon quotidien c'était ça : ouvrir la porte, poser les valises, et puis parler. De Marseille, de l'adresse qui ne paie pas de mine mais où on mange divinement, du marché qu'il faut absolument faire le matin, du bar du coin où on finit toujours par rester plus longtemps que prévu.

Partager un verre. Raconter la ville comme on la raconte à un ami.

Les gens arrivaient comme des voyageurs et repartaient — je crois — un peu marseillais. C'est ce que je voulais depuis le début, et c'est ce qui s'est passé, des centaines de fois, avec des gens venus de partout.

Il y a eu aussi des concerts dans le salon, un dîner théâtre à la bougie, quelques soirées improbables. Mais ce que je retiens le plus, ce sont les conversations. Celles qu'on n'avait pas prévues.

Maison Pépouze, c'est fini — et c'était bien.

Merci à chacun d'entre vous. 🧡
