Samantha Mureau Designing a Perfectly Provence

Samantha Mureau’s career in search of the latest fashion and style trends brought her to Europe on too many occasions to count. Now, she runs Trendline Europe from Aix en Provence in the South of France.

We asked Samantha if she would reveal her Perfectly Provence moments with readers, and this is what she shared.

Discover:

In Aix:

The recently opened Hotel de Caumont

The flower markets in front of the Palais de Justice

A glass of rosé in her favourite square des Trois Ormeaux.

Outside the city:

Chateau Lacoste, which Samantha describes as “London art galleries in the Provencal vineyards.”

TASTE:

The calissons d’Aix

The tapenades in the markets

The chilled rose from the nearby vineyards

At the Musée Granet the beautiful old art gallery

Wonder around the gardens of the perfectly manicured Pavillon de Vendôme

Have a cup of tea on the terrace and under those magnificent old trees at Villa Gallici
