Provence Holidays

In the Beginning

Provence Holidays was born from the vision and desire to share the richness and beauty of this region by an Englishman living in Provence.
Simon Richards, son of a well-known antique dealer with an upbringing in craftmanship and design, relocated to Provence for love in 2008. Having studied for nearly 15 years in one of London's most popular French schools, French culture has always been an important part of his life. At the time, an interior designer by trade and passionate about beautiful antiques and unique items, Simon used his creativity and knowledge to successfully revive several charming properties in the Luberon that still form part of our current portfolio of luxury private holiday homes today.
Following his lifelong passions, Simon qualified as a Cordon Blue chef and attained several wine qualifications that have resulted in a first-hand knowledgeable selection of what we believe are some of the best addresses in Provence.
Since the birth of his daughter, Emma, he has been further inspired to discover the best that this region has to offer: unusual places, family activities, local specialities, amazing local markets and gastronomic cuisine. Simon explores the most beautiful villages of Provence in search of ever more magic for his family. As his love for the region grows, so does his local network of owners, partners and producers. And he wants nothing more than to share his little black book of amazing and unique discoveries with you.
Encouraged by his lifelong friends and his passion for sharing unusually beautiful things, Simon then created Provence Holidays which quickly became more than just a specialist luxury holiday home website for properties in Provence. It became, and still is, the leading gateway to luxurious and unique holiday experiences in Provence which allow us to live our lives to the fullest and escape...

Provence Holidays is now proudly recognised as the leading resource in everything unique and unforgettable in Provence.
