Molly joined Provence Holidays in January 2026 as a social media specialist, bringing with her years of experience shaped by living and working abroad.
Her background in travel-led storytelling and visual content allows her to approach Provence with both curiosity and clarity, focusing on how the region is experienced rather than how it is simply presented. Through her work, she helps translate the rhythm of Provençal life into content that feels considered, informed, and grounded in real moments.
"My connection to Provence is shaped by curiosity and a long-standing habit of living abroad. Having spent years moving between countries, I'm super drawn to places that reward time spent outdoors and invite a slower rhythm of life. Provence appeals to my sense of balance, where landscapes are part of everyday living and small rituals... like a morning pastry run, matter."
A favourite place to eat
When it comes to food, Molly has a soft spot for French pastries and La Troprovençale is her pick for its focus on classic Provençal baking, executed with precision rather than excess. The viennoiseries are made with careful attention to texture and flavour, and the selection changes with the seasons, making each visit slightly different from the last. It is the kind of place that fits easily into a morning routine, whether before work or after an early walk through town.
How Molly likes to spend her time
Molly spends much of her free time outdoors and is happiest when the day starts early. She regularly hikes in volcanic landscapes, often setting out before sunrise to reach higher ground as the light changes. That sense of perspective, gained through walking and observing, is something she associates strongly with Provence. From the foothills of the Luberon to quieter rural paths, the region offers the same opportunity to slow down and experience nature without spectacle. Photography is another constant for Molly. She enjoys capturing natural light and landscapes in an unforced way, focusing on detail rather than drama. Provence, with its shifting colours and open horizons, is a place she sees as endlessly rewarding through the lens.
A favourite Provence Holidays property
Molly’s favourite property in the collection is Mas du Vaucluse, a fully restored eighteenth-century farmhouse in the Luberon. What draws her to this home is how genuinely Provençal it feels. The long avenue of plane trees sets the tone on arrival, and the surrounding orchards and open countryside create a sense of calm that defines the property.
Inside, the farmhouse has been carefully renovated to prioritise comfort while respecting its original character. Four air-conditioned bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, make it practical for groups, while the open kitchen connects the interior to the garden and surrounding landscape. The heated pool, enclosed garden, and shaded terraces encourage long days spent outdoors, with space for both relaxation and family activities.
Its location is another key reason this property stands out. The village of Thor is close enough for everyday essentials, while L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is only a short drive away, offering markets, antique shops, and riverside cafés. From here, it is easy to explore Avignon, the Alpilles, and the villages of the Luberon, all without feeling rushed.
"For me, Provence represents a place that suits a life shaped by travel. It offers variety without intensity, and a way of living that values time spent outside, good food, and thoughtful design. It's a region that rewards curiosity and suits those who enjoy discovering places gradually rather than all at once. Isn't that what makes Provence so enduring?"
À bientôt,
Molly
