On March 26 at 2 p.m. ET, I hope you will join me along with my author friends Steena Holmes, Jules Larimore, Cheryl Jamison, and owner of Absolutely Southern France Travel, Nancy McGee, as we share our passion for travel with you! This exciting event will be hosted by Carolyn Ray, CEO and Editor of JourneyWoman, the world’s largest and most trusted travel resource for women over 50.

The countdown has begun for our 2024 South of France Memories Tour, September 2nd to 14th. The photo below is from our 2022 Tour. It truly shows the joy that everyone feels, not just in stunning Eze, but everywhere we go. Trust me! Every day is filled with beauty and laughter.

You will notice me mentioning the Tour frequently these days, since we like to have all the spots filled by spring. I love posting reels on Instagram and I wish I knew how to share them here. You can also see previous Tour photos on my website.
Here’s a taste of some of the highlights of our tour:
- Strolling the seaside Promenade des Anglais in Nice and touring the colorful city
*Meandering through the cobblestone streets of Saint Paul de Vence, filled with history, galleries and charming shops
*Discovering the spectacular hilltop town of Eze and enjoying the spectacular gardens of Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
*Exploring the ancient harbor town of Antibes, Patricia’s home away from home
*Walking in Cézanne’s footsteps in Aix en Provence
*Admiring the roman treasures, world-renowned ancient and modern architecture and the spirit of Van Gogh in Arles.
*Touring the ancient Roman Arena in Nimes before savouring local products at the daily market and at an exceptional olive oil mill.
*Enjoying a safari to observe the Camargue’s unique flora, fauna and rose-colored salt marshes
*Experiencing market day in St Remy de Provence & the spectacular Carrières de Lumières in les Baux de Provence
*Discovering a genuine Duché (duchy) in Uzès and admiring the Pont du Gard, UNESCO heritage site and architectural wonder
*Joining harvest time and tasting the wine




We always sell out and would love to have you and perhaps some of your friends or family come along … or your book club, fitness group, whatever. You will find all of the details here. Nancy McGee, owner of Absolutely Southern France Travel, has been busy securing our two luxury hotels (just two, as we only move once, from Nice to Arles) and fabulous restaurants. She takes care of all the logistics and makes certain everything is in place for us to have amazing experiences every single day.
If you have any questions, contact Nancy McGee through the website or DM me on Facebook or email me at patriciasandsauthor@gmail.com. We would be so happy to have you join us!
In the meantime, I hope you will join the Webinar on March 26 and bring any questions with you. You can always email me or Nancy with further information you may require. We can’t wait to welcome you along with us. On y va!
