Discover the Perfectly Provence Contributors
Contributors · ExplorePerfectly Provence is the name of this website; it is also a community of over 40 contributors each of whom has a personal connection to the region.
The list includes expats who have chosen to make the South of France their home:

We are thrilled to have pieces from published authors who transport us to France with their words and stories:

Provence is not a place to go hungry or thirsty, and we love this group of food and wine lovers:
- Jill Barth, a lady who shares the wine grower’s story behind what you are drinking.

- Paula Kane invites you to her Table en Provence.
- Chrissie McClatchie who is now found “down under” but her heart is still the Riviera Grape.
- Tasha Powell will make your mouth water with her “Cooking with a French Twist” photos and recipes.
There are also several of us who have our feet in a couple of locations:
- Julie Whitmarsh is biking the hills of the Vaucluse and scouring the markets – when she is not dreaming about it.
- Jemma who is based in Antibes each summer provides some valuable French lessons.
- Caroline Longstaff a British gal based in California who cannot get enough of the Luberon and beyond.
- Paul Shawcross – photographer and travel guide writer.
- Dorothy Garabedian sometimes takes a detour to Provence.
- Ginger and Nutmeg are on a culinary travel adventure.
The common denominator for all is a mutual passion for Provence; its scenery, history, climate, traditions and Mediterranean cuisine.
