The Provence... Perfectly summer
trip 2012 is run by Claire de la Varre and Liz Priestley,
two Brits who live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
"We met when our daughters became friends in high
school. We discovered a mutual love of France and organized
and led our first tour, a women's group, to Provence
in 2010. We returned to Provence in 2012, and 2013, tours that were open to everyone (not just women!). Using the experience gained from those trips,
we continue to develop what we feel is the perfect
Provence vacation: a personalized, small-group setting
in a charming old farmhouse with modern comforts, and
sunny days filled
with a comfortable mix of sight-seeing, fabulous food and wine, and great
company."

"I grew up in England and attended the University
of Montpellier, France. I moved to the United States and
received my degree in Broadcast Journalism from UNC-Chapel
Hill. After a successful career in TV News, I ran my
own photography studio, shared a leadership business with
my husband, Peter, and currently own a horse farm in Chapel Hill. I am a yoga instructor, hypnotist and wellness coach.
Travel is my passion and introducing others to the delights
of Provence, my favorite part of France, is one of my
greatest joys.

"I was born and grew up in Scotland, and met my future
husband, René, on top of Masada, in Israel.
We married in 1988 and spent a year working and traveling in the middle east
and hitch-hiking across Europe. We have two
daughters. I have a PhD
in educational psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill and have been in private practice as a consulting hypnotist since 2008.
I love visiting France, especially Provence, and my family owns a house in the Haute Garonne region, near Toulouse.
