A four-month house-sitting stay in a vineyard in the Var, inspired Jane Dunning to write a novel ‘Thirty-five minutes from St Tropez’, and its sequel 'Stolen Summer'. Jane's third novel ‘Sunshine and Shadows at the Vineyard’ was published in early 2022 and is partially set in Gordes in the Luberon. All three novels are available on Amazon Kindle. If you don't have a Kindle, it is still possible to download the books to your laptop, smartphone or tablet.

Since then, Jane has stayed in numerous towns and villages in Provence where she's enjoyed exploring the countryside around and sampling the local cuisine and wines, along with taking a huge number of photos.

Her Facebook Page is where you will find information about her books together with numerous photos and ‘shares’, many featuring Provence. She now has a colourful Instagram account @irresistiblefranceanditaly.
