Since when have you been staying there? Can you recount briefly why you moved there?
We moved to Provence just this year, in April, after two years in
Cairo. My husband got a phone call one day from the President of Toques
Blanche Lyonnaise (a renowned chef’s association based in Lyon, the
French gastronomic capital, whose famous members include Michelin
starred Chefs Paul Bocuse, Mattheu Vianay and Nicolas Le Bec among
others) for an interview for a Chef de Cuisine position in a four star
luxury hotel in this region. It seemed like quite a challenge. Moreso,
we wanted a different lifestyle for our children, so we came to Provence
and the rest is history.
Tell us something about your place.
The region of Alpes de Haute Provence is famous for the valley of
Ubaye, the Route de Grande Alpes which a lot of cyclist, rallyist and
motorist pass by to go to Nice, Cannes and Monaco. We are on the border
of Italy and our place is a famous route for the Tour de France.
Provence has museums, shops that sell artisanale and regional products.
Our village is known to be of Neo-Mexican history and a lot of the
houses are quaint chateau style. Hence, the place is also famous as a
tourist destination. The valley has year round activities; during the
winter, there as skiing, luge, hiking and mountain climbing, and

white water rafting, and park activities are famous during the summer
season.
