Our House in Provence, the Most Beautiful Region of France

We have a beautiful stone village house located in the heart of the medieval village of Sablet in the Vaucluse region of Provence France. Dating from the 17th century, the house was renovated by an Italian stone mason with all of the comforts of a modern home while retaining its authentic Provençal character and charm. On this blog, we share experiences from our visits along with those of our families and friends to Sablet and the South of France.

About Us.

Sablet, Vaucluse, France
My wife, Shirley, and I live in wine country, in Windsor, California. We have two beautiful daughters Tricia and Stephanie and a wonderful son-in-law Earl and five amazing grandchildren Avery, Dylan, Caedon, Madison, and Jilian. I am CEO of Chancellor Health Care, a company which provides housing and services to seniors. I was a co-owner of a popular French bistro called Bistro des Copains located in the charming town of Occidental in Western Sonoma County California. After being in business for nearly 9 years, we closed the Bistro in early 2015. In 2008 after searching for several years and visiting many houses in person and through the internet, we bought a 17th century stone village house in the center of the medieval village of Sablet which is in the Vaucluse region of Provence France. Sablet has a population of 1381. The main commercial activities are wine making and tourism.

Thank you for visiting Our House in Provence blog. I love taking pictures of everything we experience as we travel around our beloved Provence and sharing them with all of you, most of you unbeknownst to me, who venture onto my blog.

I try to make these posts as informative and entertaining as possible for everyone including you who are lucky enough to live in Provence, those planning a visit to this magical land or others of you who simply enjoy traveling to Provence through the internet.

I love getting your comments about our experiences as they are an affirmation for my efforts and inspiration for future writing endeavors. I read every single comment and try to write a short response to each one.
