I’m Jessica, and I live in Calvisson—a charming village tucked between Nîmes and Montpellier.

My family and I moved to France from London in the summer of 2023. It had long been my dream to settle in the South of France and raise my children under its sunshine and slower rhythm of life.

Although the Camargue wasn’t part of the original plan, it’s where we landed—and where I instantly fell in love. The vibrant markets, the brocantes, the traditions passed down through generations, and the characterful villages all captured my heart. I knew I wanted to share this region and its magic with others.

Before moving to France, I trained professionally at culinary school and spent years organising a weekly food market, food festivals and supper clubs in London. Bringing people together around food, community and place has always been at the heart of what I do.

That passion naturally shaped the retreats. Over five days, I’ll take you to the hidden corners, local treasures and authentic experiences of a South of France that many travellers haven’t yet discovered.

Let me show you a side of the South of France that most travellers overlook—but that you’ll never forget.
