A four-night stay at La Maison du Village?
La Maison du Village is a property I have been in love with forever. From my early days in Saint Rémy, La Maison, as we affectionately call it has been one of my favourites. We had the great fortune to make it ours last year and ever since then I have been prettying it up.
If you have been long time readers you may remember La Maison du Village from French Essence – a book chronicling my love affair with Provence. How serendipitous the one boutique hotel I chose to feature so many years ago should now be ours.
There will be ongoing changes and additions – that’s the way I am (an annoying perfectionist) – and I am sure I will move everything about and add and subtract for months to come, but we are open and long to get going.
To say thank you for being the most wonderful and loyal readers I would love to give you a chance to stay at La Maison du Village when you travel to Provence.
Here are the details:
Win a 4 Night Stay at our new La Maison du Village du Village in the centre of Saint Rémy de Provence.
The stay can be booked for any time before the end of 2019, depending on availability.
The winner will be announced on Thursday 24th May 2018.

Hi Vicki, I came across you quite by chance yesterday evening and couldn’t stop reading! Although our lifestyles are very different we have much in common: I have lived and worked in Australia, I teach French and love to visit France as often as I can and I live in a cottage in the English countryside. I would love the opportunity to visit your beautiful new house in Provence. What a treat that would be!
Coming back to France yet again in 2019. Would give the world to win this fabulous prize. Good luck in your new venture Vicki.
My flights to Europe were confirmed today with a stay in Provence a highlight. Hoping to make our base in Saint Remy & staying at La Maison du Village would be the cerise on the gateau!
Hi Vicki
We’ve loved staying at Le Petit Bijou and would love come back to Saint Remy and stay at La Maison du Village!
Vicki~ My Mother visited Paris a few years back and said she wants to go once more. My Mother will be 89 this year and to say it would be magical to have her go to Paris again would be an understatement. She is my world, my heartbeat…my love. To have her see Paris once again would be a dream. Thank you Vicki, annie
I would love to win this trip. I have always wanted to visit France and this sure would get me there! I have just been watching Paris Can Wait and have enjoyed the scenery.
I am newto your website but already lovin’ it. And love that hotel! And St. Remy! Take me away, please!
I love your photos of flowers and anything to do with paris and provence…love the fashion and the photography is DIVINE :) KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING MY DEAR :) YOUR WORK INSPIRES ME :)
Bonjour! I landed on your site French Essence by way of Une femme d’un certain age. (I love France, just about anything French: I teach French, Latin and Spanish in Middle school) I was watching Under the Tuscan Sun when it occured to me that I would love to stay in a villa just not in Italy,but in France. My son has autism and loves to travel, it’s one of the things we both love dearly so I started to think about doing it next year. And now I see your giveaway so I definitely want a chance. Thanks! Bonne chance a moi!
Hi Vicki. Congratulations on another venture with a lovely outcome. My husband and I visit Saint Rémy often and love it. We are Scottish, have lived in many parts of the Middle East and south east Asia, called Australia home for 12 years and now live in London (Richmond) but we have always loved France. I have tried to book Le Petit Bijou before and failed as it was booked solid! It would be such a pleasure to stay at La Maison du Village. Well done and wishing you every success with La Maison! I’m sure your ‘tweaking’ has been magical. X Claire
This looks lovely. Would love to win a stay here. Cheers!

Hi Vicki,
I have read you blog for around 5 years now. I love your views on life, fashion & grey hair. You convinced me to go grey when I turned 60 & love it, (most days). Based on your recommendations my husband & I stayed at La Maison du Village around 4 years ago. It was after Mike had heart surgery. We loved it & would very much like to come again.
I would love to win! I love France! I love Paris! I love everything about France! I would love to live in France!
La Maison du Village looks beautiful!!!
A stay in your beautiful home would be an honour & so joyful! Your style is so elegant, yet comfortable. I would share this trip with my oldest, dear friend as a 60th birthday celebration! Thank you for your generous offer, it will be a special treat for whomever wins.
A four night stay at La Maison du village would be sublime 💖💖 I share your love of all things French 💖💖purchasing your books French Essence and My French Life allow me to immerse myself in my love of all things French from afar 💖💖 your blog is inspiring especially as we enter a more interesting age 😜😂💖💖
Would be a dream to be considered and win. Losing my husband and all I have worked for all my life is enough to make an escape like this a true respite and dream come true. Looks so beautiful, divine and what a soul needs.
I LOVE your blog and la maison du village looks amazing! I am very fond of provence, it brings back many childhood memories of when my family used to go there every summer. My favorite spot remains les Baux ;)
I would love to win this giveaway
My heart is in Provence. Can hardly wait to see La Maison du Village.
I have loved following you for quite some time. Your thoughts about “better not younger”, your style advice, the fantastic women you’ve introduced me, and of course, Provence! I have not been to that part of France yet (heading to Paris, Normandy and the Loire valley next week) but I can’t image going and not staying in your fabulous “La Maison”! Fingers crossed!
Dear Vicki, we absolutely love the South of France and would love to win a stay at your beautiful hotel. I am retiring at the end of June and would for this to be our first adventure. Merci

A 4 day stay at your property to experience the fruits of your Labors and exquisite taste would be divine. A project is never finished for perfectionists, especially with the change of seasons and the different light each brings.
I would love to bring my daughter back to Provence!
Have been to Paris many times, one of our favorite cities but we need to explore Provence, the wineries, the olive groves and of course the lavender fields, where so many artists have studied the beauty of Provence.
One word, ‘dream’!!! No other words needed.
XX Deb
Somehow you have infused this room with both energy and serenity.
I am already subscribed and would love to enter to win this beautiful trip.

Dear Vicki, thank you for your exquisite website. It’s my husband’s birthday on the 26th June and I would love to surprise him with such a beautiful gift. We have had a life long love affair with France and most specifically, Provence.

Hello Vicki,
What a lovely giveaway! I found your book a few years ago in my library in Yarmouth, Maine. I bought my own copy! Thanks for the opportunity! Laura
Congratulations on your new venture, Vicki. As a true Francophile and lover of Provence, it would be a dream come true to stay at La Maison du Village. Saint Rémy is one of my very favourite towns in France – especially on market day! Wishing you every success.

Mary (a long time subscriber)
Love the updates I receive from you Vicki! Provence is my most favourite place in the world!
La Maison is beautiful! It is calm and elegant; the perfect little get away. While I have visited Paris several times, I have never had the pleasure of experiencing Provence. A visit to La Maison would be fabulous. Thank you for the generous opportunity to visit. Cheers!
St Remy is heaven on earth. Hope I win
It was Monday, June 24, 1996 – I had just completed my first real dining experience at Cafe des Arts, 30 Bd Victor Hugo, Saint Remy. My dear friend had whisked me away for a week in Provence to ease the pain of my father’s passing. I thought I had gone to paradise, as well! Unfortunately, following that wonderful meal and a bit too much vin, I couldn’t find my way out of the traffic circle – and missed most of the lovely sights (we were staying in the small village of Graveson). It would be a real treat to go back … after all these years … not to mention a great way to celebrate my 60th! Thanks for your consideration!
I visited France 13 years ago with college friends – we all turned 50 that year. I am in love with your country:)
I type this not because I expect to win (Lady Luck is a stranger to me : ) ), but because I have been a fan of your blog for awhile…. I read it daily. I share it with my girlfriends. I have tried some of the products you have recommended (and loved them!) And yet I have always hesitated to “add my two cents” and post a comment, even when I had thoughts to share. I admire your ability to re-focus our angst about aging: “better, not younger.” I love your fashion tips and gorgeous photographs. But I most appreciate that you share your sense of gratitude for your family, your career, your life and the opportunities presented. Like La Masinon Du Village. How wonderful that this important place in your life is now a part of you! And how fabulous of you to share with others…. Enjoy your new adventure! Best, Lisa
Love your blog & Instagram pix. Great style
Ooooo… Pick me! I’d LOVE to win four nights at your amazing Maison du Village!!
Vicki, your hotel looks gorgeous. Such a generous giveaway. How lucky the winner will be. I’d love to be in the ‘draw’. xx
Was in St. Remy once and have always wanted to return.
Follow your home and apts. through your blog with wishful thinking.
Janie Gustus

Life. I love your comments and wisdom on life, aging gracefully, and age appropriate fashion
Thank YOU⚜️⚜️
Congratulations on making your dream come true! I would so love to win a visit.
I am so excited that your dream is coming true!!! Having read your blog, and purchased your book, French Essence, I have longed to come to Provence. What a joy it will be to revel in that extraordinary area. Having been to the Normandy region, visiting the National Collection of Hydrangeas in Varengeville-sur-mer, I have longed to return to visit the southern part of France. It is so gracious of you to offer this most remarkable gift to your readers. We love reading and following you. A day starting reading your blog in the morning, really sets the tone for the day. What a gift you give your readers, to start the day with a smile. We thank you!!!!!!
All the best with your new venture, looks wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to win a stay at La Maison du Village. Fingers crossed!
Please enter me in the giveaway stay. I am already a subscriber to your fun site.

Hello, I would love to have the opportunity to go to Saint Rémy and stay in this exquisite property.
What a treat it would be to visit La Maison.
Vicki, how idyllic La Maison du Village looks! St Remy is one of those places in the world that I am so sentimental about and the combination of that and your interiors taste has made me dream of staying at La Maison. Instagram heaven! And if I won, I’d have a chance to take a much-needed break from work, properly relax, be inspired by your stylish aesthetics and shop for plump red tomatoes and fresh basil to eat them in the sunshine… I’m there in my head, at least!
I would love to visit this beautiful place!
How lovely for someone!
Who ever wins; I hope it is someone who has never been to France (🙋) and this makes it a dream come true.
So generous Vicki – how wonderful!
Oh yes, please enter me. There’s no place better than France to visit!
Yes Vicki! I would love to win a 4 Night Stay at La Maison duVillage in Saint Remey de Provence! It would be absolutely Awesome! Thank you for the chance!!!
Wow! What an amazing opportunity to visit your lovely boutique hotel, the beautiful area it is located in and actually get to meet you Vickie! My fingers are crossed! Merci!
Love Saint Remy. Very fond memories of the visits to your charming village. We would love to have an opportunity to win this contest and visit again. I am sure the renovations are spectacular!
Love following you every morning when I wake up I travel vicariously to your closet or on one of your explorations. I’m a huge Francophile and am turning 60 this year and would love to jump into the next decade with an experience. St Rémy sounds like it would excite all the senses! You have done a beautiful restoration! I will continue to follow your tips and trips as my morning ritual. Merci Beaucoup Vicki!
Follow you daily!
My bags are packed and I am ready to go!
My late husband and I honeymooned in Paris at Christmas in 1973, and we always wanted to return to France once we retired. Sadly this was not to be. I would be thrilled to return to France, to Saint Remy de Provence, because of the loving memories my husband and I made, in Paris, at the very beginning of the best marriage to the best man I could ever have hoped to meet. We were married for an amazing 42 years.
Bonjour Vicki!
I’ve been to France many times, but I’ve never been to Provence! Thank you for your generosity…. I would love to visit your lovely boutique hotel!! Wish me luck!!
I would dearly love to return to Saint Remy in Provence. We stayed there in your other beautiful property Le Petit Bijou
and it was such a wonderful happy time with my husband and son. My son is in Year 12 now and we haven’t been able to do anything for a few years now so it would be a dream. We also got to meet the wonderful Christine!
All the best Vicki.
Vicki, staying at La Maison (and maybe meeting you?) would be the highlight of my.entire.life. xo Cara
I have followed your blog and am so excited about this hotel!
I would love to stay at your beautiful inn.
Dear Vicki, my husband and I have been following your blog for years. We love your style and would LOVE to stay at your La Maison. Thanks so much,
Keeping our fingers crossed

That sounds like such a lovely getaway and I am in dire need for one! Thank you for the chance to win a beautiful trip! I am a longtime subscriber too.
Congratulations on the opening! I have stayed in your apartment and if it is anything similar, I can assure your readers it will be fabulous! Bravo.
This hotel appears so chic…would so love to stay there on my next visit to France
To be in France….to travel in Provence….delightful!
To be the village of St. Remy…Incredibly charming!
To stay at La Maison du Village! ……Sublime!!!
How divine! I would beyond thrilled to visit Saint Rémy – what a treat and nice gesture you’re offering readers! Lots of love. xo
I love the South of France – where I studied French while in college in 1974 – and would be delighted to return to the area after many years of absence. I traveled to Arles, Nice and Grenoble while studying in Aix-en-Provence but did not have the chance to visit St. Remy and would be thrilled with the opportunity to do so.
Thank you for such an exquisite opportunity – I am passionate for everything artistic, elegant and beautiful that our world has to offer!
How exciting that you bought this little gem! I cannot wait to see it after your glorious handiwork!
I would love to win this wonderful hotel stay. I love traveling in France and would relish a chance to spend some time in the Saint Remy area. It looks amazing! Thank you, Evie Stafford
This fall I will be in Provence on a river cruise. What a thrill it would be to stay in La Maison.
Vicki,
I start each day the much the same way, eyes open, one foot on the floor, coffee or tea…the rest of the day most often takes on a life of its own and I pleasantly follow. While I cannot recall the path that led me to VICKI ARCHER it has become a guilty pleasure I immensely enjoy. Thank you!!
I had a major accident/3 surgeries. I’ve been recovering – and out of work – for 9 months with at least 3 more months to go. I’d adore a french holiday!! I’m taking immersion french!
To be in France…to travel in Provence …delightful!
To be in the village of St. Remy…incredibly charming!
To stay at La Maison du Village…..Sublime!
Merci for your consideration.
Dearest Vicki,
What a beautiful offer! Who could resist? I would love to visit France!
Thanks so much for thinking of your readers!
Love and Blessings,
Cheryl
This picture of your hotel is so beautiful! I can see myself engaging in all of my senses visiting St. Remy de Provence while staying at La Maison du Village. I have a love affair with traveling, exploring the local culture and meeting new people while taking in and experiencing the beauty of the area: the sights, sounds, scents, and tastes. My new focus in life is joy and beauty. Winning this adventure would allow me to expand the joy and beauty in my life…and I love the south of France.
Good morning, Vickie. Congratulations on Madison! What energy you have. You are a daily treat of inspiration. I relate so much to your style, wisdom, and prevailing kindness. I’m sure your new venture reflects all your genuineness.
BTW, I love my gray hair and age…thanks for the encouragement
I would love to visit La Maison du Village. I am an existing subscriber to your blog which I enjoy.
I am packing already !
Vicki,
I have been a subscriber of your blog for a few years now. Your lighthearted fashion, interior design and all things aesthetic writing always is a bright spot in my day. After my husband passed away I looked for interesting and creative blogs that would inspire me to live a better life every day. Thank you for being an inspiration. My late husband and I had a trip planned for Paris and Provence to celebrate a big anniversary when he was diagnosed with Glioblastoma primary brain cancer. He was never well enough to travel and I still have France on my bucket list.
Thank you for making such a generous offer. I know whom ever wins will have a great time.
My husband and I had a magical trip to Provence in 2001 and long to return to Saint Remy! Winning this gift would be heaven and a wonderful way to celebrate our 50th anniversary together in 2019!
Oh la la would love to win this!
Would be a dream come true!
Oh yes please! I’d love to win the trip!
VCC
When & where (weblink?) can we make reservations to stay at La Maison du Village?
If I won this stay it would be a dream come true. They always say “Dreams do come true!”
I am a subscriber, and oh how I’d love to visit your beautiful property. Congratulations on your meant-to-be endeavor.
This would be sublime!
Love your information…
Would love to go…on my bucket list..dreaming of it..
That looks beyond elegant. Who wouldn’t want to win! :o)
I have been following you and am interested in winning a stay at La Maison du Village
I hope to High Heaven I win!
Cannot wait. Love the blog!
It looks beautiful. I love Provence too.
The Maison looks fantastic! I would love to win!
The opportunity to stay at La Maison du Village would be a dream come true!
Vicki,
It looks lovely – I’d love a chance to stay and explore the area.
Enjoy very much your blog. Thank you for sharing your time with all of us.
Wonderful, exciting new venture! I can’t wait to see all the design details and fabulous furnishings!
Thank you!
Provence has always been my dream. I am a dedicated Francophile, and my home definitely reflects that. I have been in love with Provence ever since I first read A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle. Whoever is fortunate enough to be selected for this wonderful experience, I wish them bon voyage! It will truly be the experience of a lifetime.
What a wonderful, gracious thing to do, Vicki! Please do enter me for the drawing. Right now I am spending two months in Paris with my new grandson. Thanks to you, I am often mistaken for French (until I open my mouth and speak French with a southern accent!). I have only been to Provence once time, and am eager to return!
I adore your style and approach to a creative life! Thanks for the inspiration!
Vicki, It’s so exciting to see your dream come true and it’s “beautiful “! CONGRATULATIONS
Wishing you all the blessings you so richly deserve💖
I have been traveling at least twice a year since I retired. I have been to many wonderful places around the world, but somehow not managed to get to Provence yet. What a wonderful opportunity this would be, and to stay at your boutique hotel. To enjoy your new venture and Provence all at the same time would be marvelous.
The South of France is Paradise, and the French have perfected the art of ‘la douceur de la vie’ in all its forms.
To win this stay would be a dream of a lifetime for me.
I would like me to inquire about availability to rent for one week late September. I am flexible so please reply with all available dates for September, October, and November 2018.
Thank you!
Patricia
Fingers crossed.
It looks like a lovely place, Vicki!
xx
Thank you VA for all the years. I am a subscriber since reading your first book. Your journey has been amazing. Congratulations on La Maison du Village.
Ahh…Provence has been calling and this could be exactly what I need to make it happen. I would love to stay at your beautiful property and soak in its magic. Have fun adding your special touches.
xoxo
Christine
Dear Vicki,
An utterly divine prize… many thanks for this most kind gesture.
Kind Regards,
Donna
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE TO STAY IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND ESPECIALLY WITH BLACK AND WHITE CHECKERED FLOORING, MY FAVE!!!
Vicki – what n amazing giveaway. It would be wonderful to stay at La Maison with all your personal touches and bliss to experience the magic – someone will have a fabulous time. Thanks for sharing – enjoy your blog so much!
You helped bring St Remy into our life; we used many of your recommendations on our first trip to St Remy last year. And now we can’t wait to go back! Le Petit Bijou was booked, so we would love to go back and visit there , as well as La Maison du Village. Merci beaucoup.
We would LOVE to spend time at La Maison du Village. I subscribed to your blog two years ago in mental prep for our first trip to Provence. We stayed at Mas Leila in Maussane-Les-Alpilles so we traveled through St. Remy several times and I would wave to you! Hope to come back!!!
Thank you for making me feel glamorous – even on laundry days :)
Vicki,
Love your books, love your blog, would love to see La Maison du Village in person!
Looks Fabulous.
D. Woolf
Congrats on the new property…. we would definitely like to plan a visit!!
We visited St Rémy (and the region) in the recent past and hoped to someday return. A magical place in a magical region.
We visited St. Rémy in the recent past and how to someday return.
It’s a magical place.
I can think of no better way to practice my burgeoning language skills, soak in the culture about which you write so appealingly, and gather inspiration for my next home renovation project! I’d love to be chosen to spend time at La Maison du Village!
We love St. Remy! Haven’t been for some time, but it’s our 50th wedding anniversary this year. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to spend time celebrating at La Maison du Village. Of all the wonderful spots in St. Remy, and there are many, my most vivid sensory recollection is walking through the open air market and seeing and smelling the spices piled high. Unforgettable in the beautiful Provence light.
J’adore la France! And I’d love to win this.. I love reading your articles, Vicki!
I’veenjoyed Your insights into Provençal life for years! I would love to see your latest project in person!
Bonne chance!
La Maison du Village! This looks like the perfect girl friend get away! I live in Texas and long to visit Provence one day with my girl friends. This is not a trip that my husband has expressed joining me on and so, why not make the trip with some fun friends! Retirement is not far away and this would be a fitting place to start with the message that you, Vicki, always remind us of “Getting Better Not Older”. Hooray to the next phase of life!!!!
Bonne chance with your new adventure and bonne chance to me in the giveaway 😀
Bonnie chance with your new adventure and bonne chance to me in the giveaway 😀
I love Paris and have been there a few times, but never to the south of France. Provence has been on my bucket list for a very long time!
I look forward to your daily email which contains useful, interesting topics.
Thank you for your lovely writing!
Sounds incredible. Thank you for your generous giveaway. I already subscribe…

The thought of being in your lovely place fills my soul with longing — for the visual beauty and the scent of the sun and air.
What a great prize to win
Oh Vicki, your place is so lovely! So much fun to make it your own. I’ve been a subscriber for two years. I’m planning to retire from the corporate job this year and a trip to Provence is on my horizon — winning a stay in your La Maison du Village would be the icing on the cake! Love reading your blog and keeping up with your adventures and insights. Merci!
Oh MY! Well any boutique hotel in beautiful Provence that is near that amazing Astier De Villatte (how does anyone choose between those delightful pieces?!) is definitely on my bucket list. One Day…for sure :)
Oh nooo – I read incorrectly re the Astier De Villatte…in Paris? Darn it…I’ll have to do a Tour de France instead! ;)
Love, love your insights and your posts. Would adore a vacation in France. I know I will pack well since I have been educated through your comments.
Have been following you for years Vicki , a visit to view and experience your superb style first hand would be such a special treat.
Thank you for making me feel glamorous – even on laundry day…
What an exciting opportunity! My sister sent me a link to the Vicki Archer website. I have subscribed and am learning new ways to dress! Thank you for this contest and making one lucky person a winner.
I would love to stay at La Maison du Village and take inspiration from your incredible taste for interior design, but probably my children need to grow up a bit ;)
Good luck with your new adventure.
Love
ML
Bonjour,
I am very interested in a lovely four night stay in Saint Remy du Provence at La Maison du Village. The suites are all lovely and the garden a perfect respite from daily life.
Fingers crossed!
Britt-Marie
I love Provence and would love to be able to take my husband and show him why I love it there!
New fan and subscriber – I would love to meet you! And I’d love the opportunity to visit your new venture in St Rémy!!
Blessings,
Janet
This looks amazing …. just love the style and all things French
This looks amazing …. would just love to see it for real
Hi Vicki!
I hope this is my lucky year to win a visit to your fabulous home in Provence. My husband and I have been talking about going to Provence for years! But, being in the “sandwich generation”, responsibilities to our parents, kid, or work seem to have taken priority! Every year I plant more lavender in my garden (it keeps dying in our climate…c’est la vie) in hopes that one day I can see the sunny lavender fields of Provence and walk the countryside and enjoy a different life! Please pick me!!! Love following your daily and weekly emails!
Au revoir,
Carolyn xo
St. Remy is the most beautiful place. So inspiring! Would love to see your new beautiful place there.
I already subscribe!
You inspire your readers every day with your wonderful style, advice and beauty, and I have to believe the fortunate person who is chosen for your St. Remy stay will be equally inspired by your design and hospitality. How fun to be in St. Remy!
Oh my gosh; I love your villa and would be so excited to spend time there. I’ll be visiting France for the first time in June and can hardly wait!.
PS. I am sure your new hotel is equally fabulous! Please count me in!
This would be heavenly! Would love to spend four days here!

Absolutely love your posts Vicki. We visited and fell in love with St. Remy in 2016 for our 30th wedding anniversary. Would so love to visit again!
Light, airy, not like anything I’ve experienced? Different sounds, tastes, light and lots of generosity – how wonderful it must be. Lots of generous love – from an Older Beauty (?)
What a thrill it would be to win your generous offering of a stay at La Maison du Village du Village. Love your beauty and fashion tips!
A stay at your new place would be a dream come true for me.
I just came back from my long time dream of visiting Paris. We had a wonderful time. Now I’m eager to see Provence. Thank you for all your lovely advise and an opportunity to see more of France.
A stay at your new place would be a dream come true.
What a dream! Thank you for sharing this opportunity to win a stay in this fabulous destination!

Thank you for the chance to win!
That interior looks indeed amazing. Made me curious about La Maison du Village and Saint-Rémy in general. I am checking out the links.
This looks so lovely and what a wonderful project for you to continue to enjoy. It’s inspirational just to see online and in person would be amazing!
This sounds like a dream come true!
Hi Ms. Archer,
I love how your special attention and care to detail in the simplest things comes from a pure place of love! You have been an inspiration in allowing me to recognise on my own journey that we are all timeless and beautiful and have access to engage in all things amazing from a sense of worthiness and positive lifestyle practice. I have never been to St. Remy or Provence and would love the opportunity to visit and explore its special treasures.
May God continue to bless your adventurous exciting journey, xx.

A dream.

How lovely to realise a dream Vicki…you are a very lucky girl! I’m in Provence in September and I hope to pop in for a peek then. Good luck with your first season xo
Hi Vicki,
I first found you when I was looking for Kaftans, and you had written an article on the Market in Saint Tropez.The stall you recommended was one I had also found and loved.From then on I subscribed and recommended you to all my friends.
Love the Maison , it’s a bijoux bombom!
What an amazing experience that would be! Just lovely!
Hello Vicki, It would be wonderful to see how everything has been put together through your eyes. I remember reading “My French Life” thinking that you were living my dream. I, too, love Provence, decorating, collecting vintage linens, unique light fixtures and tableware…oh, and a special affection for Diptyque candles…always wondering how I will be able to fit anything else into my home. I can’t imagine editting these items as they all hold precious memories. I’m sure all who visit your lovely little hotel will have an experience they will not forget. Best of luck with this new adventure.
Please enter me. I love the VA blog and the South of France! I have been drooling over the photos of the Maison . How exciting it would be to spend some time there!
Have never been to this area so that would be wonderful….read your blog every day and so enjoy it.
It would be a dream to be able to stay in your beautiful hotel. Thank you for the chance to experience your piece of heaven in Provence.
Hi Vicki,
I found you buy looking for Kaftans, and you had written about them on a stall in Saint Tropez Market , which I also loved.
From then on I subscribed, recommended you to all my friends.Love the Maison, it’s a Bombom!
I’d love to win this for a anniversary gift to my cousins in Normandy.
Been reading you so long, I feel like I know you.
Dear Vicki,
A big congratulations to you and your family!
You have been a positive source of inspiration to me since I bought your book “My French Life” at Anthropologie in Seattle many, many years ago. I would like to enter your drawing for a chance to win a stay at La Maison du Village. Reading about the renovation (on your blog) and seeing all of the gorgeous embroidered linens you have selected bring a smile to me face and make me dream of a trip to Provence. Thank you for sharing your life and style.
Warmest,
Cynthia
This would be a dream come true to come to France. Thank you
Vicki,
Your blog is my absolute favorite. La Maison du Village is lucky to have you and your style.

Coming all the way from Australia also…
Dale.
Thanks so much for offering this fabulous opportunity to win a visit to the most beautiful place in the world!
Hi Vicki, You came to my life in 2013 when I first subscribed to your blog, French Essence. It was then you spoke so beautifully about Lulu. What a lovely story connected to a “PS…About Beauty.” Just like Lulu, you “enrich life”…and “make the world a brighter place.” We all need that! Bonne chance on your beautiful new adventure, La Masion du Village.
What a generous opportunity, it would be wonderful to experience your stylish glamorous boutique hotel first hand.

what a dream come true
A wonderful giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win a stay!!
Surely nothing could be better than a 4 day stay at your newest “baby”. St Remy is a dream tableau – as you proved in your two gorgeous books. Thanks for the opportunity to dream once again of entering that dream for a little bit of time.
Oh, be still my heart. How exciting for you, a new adventure. Yes, please consider my desire to spend those days in your new home away from home. Thank you. 💙
Every Wednesday in Chicago, my friend and I would accompany each other to a movie at the cinema, followed by a chocolate crepe at our favorite french cafe with a side of either a coffee or a wine. Here we chat about life, love, and what is behind the red door in the painting above the fireplace next to us. Our date is the elderly man who owns the cafe, where we are taught about life lessons and past memories. The French culture has taught me so much about living a happy and meaningful life.
Provence is my favorite! Would love to visit again!
Thank you for the chance to stay at Saint Remy de Provence. :)
I’d love to go back to St. Remy. There are still some things I want to see. :)
As a dedicated follower of Fashion, that dates me, and Interior Design. Your blogs are eagerly awaited every week and circulated to my fashionista friends. It would be sheer delight to win four days in your newly re-created Maison du Village. My fingers are already blue from crossing hard.
Congratulations to you,
Bizzzzes,
Anne
This would be a dream come true!
Hi Vicki,
I’ve enjoyed your blog for a few years now. You have a wonderful eye and exceptional perspective on everything.
I especially enjoy hearing about your travels….and of course your recommendations. I would love to see and stay at
La Maison du Village.
Wendy
Dear Vicki – So kind of you to offer this giveaway to your readers! My husband and I would love a chance to stay at La Maison du Village. It would be wonderful to see more photos of your lovely boutique hotel on your blog! Thank you for the opportunity.
Kind regards,
Deborah
Hello Vicki…congratulations on the opening of your beautiful hotel in St. Remy! We so enjoyed a tour of Petite Bijoux just before it opened! Would love to come and stay…as I’m sure would the myriad of people who have posted before me! Took awhile to scroll all the way down to comment!
Dear Vicki, I would love to spend time in St Remy de Provence. You make everything look so beautiful and exciting, it would be a great gift to be able to experience it for myself. The only thing that would make it better is if you were there to visit for a short time.
Simple gorgeous, as expected. You are the only blog I look forward to.
Hello Vicki-
I’m going through a big move and transition at this time as well and I completely get your storage story! It applies to my experience perfectly!
We are simplifying, giving away, repurposing, but hopefully NOT storing 20 years of accumulated furnishings, art, rugs, etc., etc. It is a ride through our family history- nostalgic as we remember where we found that carpet in Istanbul and the Venetian Fortuny Chandelier that took months to ship from Florence. Memory lane!
Your lovely Maison is an inspiration and we would be so delighted to enjoy a 4 day respite after our stressful selling of the big house and moving experience. Maybe we will be the lucky winner!
Good luck with this new endeavor. Much success to you.
Southern France is on my bucket list. What a dream to visit it and your La Maison du Village!
Here is a lovely example of GENEROSITY! Thank you for this opportunity.
PS I enjoy your blog so much!
Looks beautiful! Would love to stay here!!
How wonderful to see such a lovely project come to fruition, Vicki! Thank you for giving your readers this opportunity.
If it’s meant to be, it will be!
A Perfect Vacation spot! How fortunate you are to be the hostess of La Maison du Village. We all know that luck is when opportunity meets preparation and you have certainly done a lot of prep, so taking advantage of your opportunity is makes this new endeavor particularly well deserved.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it. My fingers and toes are crossed.
I’ve been a subscriber for many yrs. Thank you for this lovely drawing!
Looking forward to reading more from Vicki Archer. Thank you for providing the offer for some time in Provence for subscribers. I appreciate the chance to win.
What a fun opportunity! Looks beautiful!
What a wonderful opportunity to stay and explore beautiful Provence.

Yes please!How fun! I’d love to escape to Provence tomorrow!
So excited to win, please!
Your book, “My French Life”, with Carla’s photos has been a constant inspiration to me for many years. I too would love to live in the French countryside, and have an apartment in Paris and hope that one day my dream will come true. In the meantime, I enjoy reading and being inspired by your blog and look forward to visiting France very soon.

I would love to stay in your new place La Maison in St. Remy! Sign me up!
Hello Vicki! Not only would I love to come to know and appreciate the same love that you have for La Maison du Village, I would also love to see that abandoned fruit farm in Provence that inspired you so much! Thanks for writing your blog, it brings me joy, happiness and insight – and has definitely made me more confident and fashionable! Best, Pamela
Woo hoo Vicki. What a fabulous job you have done. And winning the stay would give me an excellent excuse to return to France.
A wonderful piece of France surrounded by the beautiful scenes from a Van Gough painting

My family and I visited St. Remy for the first time last summer and I fell in love with the village. It would be absolutely amazing to go again and stay in your lovely hotel. I have been following your blog for over a year and it inspired me to visit France last summer after many years. Many thanks to your blog for renewing my love of France. I lived in France as a young girl and my adult children wanted to see where my family lived for 4 years.This year we are going to Normandy, but I can’t imagine any place as beautiful as Provence.
St. Remy is one of the most lovely villages in Provence. It would be simply wonderful to win this prize. Thanks for your generosity.
I have been following you since I read My French Life and have enjoyed your blog for years. I would love to meet you and see your beautiful hotel. J’espère de gagner ce beau voyage à St-Rémy-de Provence. Merci pour la chance!
I wait with bated breath for you let me know I won! What a wonderful treat that would be!
Thank you for such a wonderful offer of a chance to visit this beautiful destination!
Thank you for the chance to win a stay at your beautiful home in Provence! I would love to win!
Vicky — We stayed at another property in St. Remy a year ago and would love to go back. Beautiful!
How great! Would love to visit!
Dear Vicki,
What a bewitching, enticing offer! I went to college in France quite a long while ago. My husband and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary this December. I cannot imagine anything lovelier than to surprise him with a stay in Saint Rémy!!
A devoted fan,
Ann
This would be a wonderful vacation. It has been thirteen years since our last one! Better to save the best for last, so much nicer to savor the moment!
It looks and sounds like a dream come true! Here’s to lavender, sunshine and all that is lovely…
I would love to add a trip to St Remy with a stay in your new adventure to my trip to France next yeat. I’m sure it is beautiful.
I too would love an opportunity to stay at your beautiful property, La Maison du Village, decorated by my kindred spirit. Love all that is you.
Surprising my husband on our 50th wedding anniversary with a stay at La Maison du Village would be such a perfect holiday. We discovered Saint Remy many years ago and felt in love with this wonderful town and returning for our golden celebration would make both of us so very happy!
Congratulations, Vicki, on another gorgeous accomplishment done with such style and beauty!
What an amazing offer.
What a sweet and very generous offer. Thank you Vicki. Your faithful readers are thrilled I’m certain. xo
Hi Vicki, I nave been an avid follower of yours for years now.
This would be perfect for us to win a stay in your gorgeous hotel as we are coming all the way from New Zealand to St Remy for a week from Oct 24 this year. After viviting there briefly 3 years ago, I always wanted to be based there for awhile to explore the area, and we havent yet booked accommodation!
Here’s hoping. 😀
Your book French Essence lives on my coffee table! I love your style and everything French. Provence is my favourite. Would love to visit La Maison!
Me too! Have read and re read and lent to all my friends over and over Even when out shopping I often recommend your blog to strangers!
Would love to visit St Remy. It is at the top of my list! Thank you for he opportunity!
What a heavenly dream come true! I would take my daughter in law, who studied French in college but has never been.
This Francophile would adore spending time in your new venture
Bonjour,
From this glance of just one room, I see that you’re true to the way we “know” you, through your blog. We see a love of silver (relating to tresses?), deep black and navy (always spot-on), some alabaster and natural (cool and calming). You’ve hit the mark in creating classic “with a twist!” That floor! That iron-scrolled gate! A dreamscape. Good luck, indeed, to all!!
In 2011 we were fortunate enough to travel from NZ to France for a family holiday. We were staying in a small town near Uzes but because of your wonderful books and stories insisted we spend a day in St Remy. We would never have discovered Glanum which my children still talk about without you, so thank you for sharing through your blog and keeping my memories alive. Plus we would love to come back and discover even more!
Four days at your lovely home – sounds heavenly!
I have been following you since I read My French Life. Your blog has inspired me to travel and I would love to see your lovely Maison du Village. Merci pour la chance de participer à ce concours!
It looks fabulous! Congrats! We love la provence and would love to visit it again. It is not far from Barcelona and really beautiful and relaxing💙
This is a lovely thing! How wonderful it would be to win such a gift! Thank you for the opportunity to throw my ring into the hat!
I so enjoy your blog; it’s such a nice blend of fun and depth.
Your home is exquisite, as are your posts about the things you value and bring you joy. Thank you for being so generous and sharing your lovely home. How fun to even just have hope!
Years ago I was given the book French Essence as a gift which I did and still do love paging through. Best of all , it inspired us to go to Provence to celebrate a friends birthday. I follow your blog and when Instagram started was so excited to follow ” Vicki Archer”. Hopefully one day we shall return………
Me too!
Thanks for being such a creative inspiration. I’m already planning the trip in my imagination : )
I can smell the fragrance of Provence in reading all the comments about the new La Maison du Village! Looking forward to having the opportunity to see and smell in person soon.
Good luck and save some room at the inn!
Hello Vicki, Thank you for such a fabulous opportunity to stay at La Maison. I do remember La Maison in your book I must have a look again today. I am sure that La Maison has been transformed with your exquisite touch. XxTrish
Thanks, Vicki. I love your blog. It has been an inspiration for my trip to Provence and for my many trips to Paris.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity. Provence is a dream. Thank you for promoting Better Not

Exquisitely stylish yet welcoming and comfortable. What a clever and tasteful transformation you have achieved. Can see the attention to detail and hard work behind the beautiful facade. Congratulations!!!
Thank you for opening up your home to one lucky winner! Am dreaming of Provence!
Hi Vicki
I have just dragged myself out of bed here in Oz, switched on my computer and now my heart is all ‘aflutter’. We haven’t had a hol. in so long and France being my very favourite destination has, unfortunately, only been a dream the past few years. I have been watching your blog for news and pics of La Maison and the recently renovated residence in Notting Hill – your creativity fills me with joy. What a wonderful thing for you to offer your readers- your generosity (something you often talk about) abounds!
Que sera sera, but I’d love it to be me! Love France, love Provence….
Hi. I am trying to determine if it is right for me to beg God and his angels to help me win this amazing gift! I guess I have to keep those requests for a more serious nature but I have all of my fingers and toes crossed. Love your blog.
Thank you for your generous offer. I would love to stay at your beautiful Provençal home in St Remy.
Hi Vicki Have tried to book your properties a couple of times for clients as they look so pretty and French!
Oh Vicki. Our past few years have been filled with sadness after the sudden death of my Dad and then a year later my beautiful Mum. It would be amazing to leave everything behind here, and travel and stay in your beautiful village. Following along your journey has lifted my spirits and has me dreaming once again of travels abroad.
Your offer is indeed very generous. Thank you for the opportunity to enter.💕Di
Hi Vicki – I love all things France and when I came across your blog I immediately subscribed. I was in Provence with my husband the summer before last. It was our first time and we absolutely fell in love. We had a short afternoon in St. Remy -not nearly enough time to explore. We would love the chance to win and have the opportunity to return -and meet you!
I would love to win!
What a lovely place to celebrate an occasion. Thank you for the give-away.
What a wonderful giveaway!! Always inspirational a little St Remy would restore the most tired soul!!! Oh to be in Provence now that summer is here!!!
How marvellous – thank you for the opportunity to enter for the chance to experience the magic of Provence.
We had 2 wonderful weeks in Paris for our 40 wedding anniversary. Would love 4 days in Provence for our next anniversary. Love your blog and the style you present with everything.
Bonjour! Vicki,
Felicitations on La Maison du Village! Many years ago I bought your inspirational book French Essence! I enjoy following your blog as I can live vicariously through your stories of Provençal life! Merci for offering a lucky winner a chance to stay at La Maison!
Love La Maison. Love your style. Would LOVE to win!
Vicki,
I see we have similar fantasies on storing and saving “treasures”! I would love to visit this special village and your new place. I’m excited to see your new palette of design!
What a beautiful place in everyone’s favorite village! We’d love to visit the Wednesday market again.
Felicitations on La Maison du Village! Many years ago I bought your inspirational book French Essence! I enjoy following your blog as I can live vicariously through your stories of Provençal life! Merci for offering a lucky winner a chance to stay at La Maison!
Hello Vicki, A stay at La Maison would be heaven!
I would love to see your interior design touches in real life.
I have enjoyed your books and blog for years. I am envious of all your travels. I would love to win! Thank you for the opportunity.
A stay at your Maison in St. Remy looks like a beautiful dream! I love your stories of how you put your life together. Some people only dream, but you dream and do.
Oh yes please!
A stay at La Maison – oh how I would love to tick this off my bucket list – what an amazing opportunity to live a little bit of the French Life for a girl from downunder!
It’s been 6 years since I was last in Provence. We spent a day in St. Rémy-de-Provence. It was wonderful seeing the places mentioned in your books with my own eyes. I would love to go back…
Ohhh, yes please, I would loooove another chance to head back to France and to have a chance to stay in your beautiful boutique hotel. Both your books sit on my coffee table (they are the only two) and I pick them up often to flick through the pages or to read a chapter to keep me inspired. My dream is to one day own a home in Saint Remy de Provence as well as one here on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Big dreams!
Vicky, we stayed at your beautiful Petite Bijou in the fall of 2014 and it was everything we could imagine and more. I am so excited to see what your talent and imagination have wrought.
A chance to visit this beautiful property while visiting France? Please and Thank you!
Oh, Vicki! How exciting that you have bought a precious hotel and get to redo it!
I can’t wait to visit!
One of my best friends got me to start looking at your posts – always elegant and full of cheer, always beautiful and heading in a lovely direction, better than coffee early in the morning. A drop of St Remy sunshine in the morning, more drops of St Remy sunset just before dark, certain contentment.
We are very excited to be staying at Le Petit Bijou next year and what a wonderful opportunity it would be to spend another 4 days at La Maison du Village.
Thank you Vicki. My husband and I are very excited to be staying in La Maison du Village this September. I so enjoy following your blog. Full of beauty, , inspiration and sheer joy.
Congratulations on your new venture, I wish you all the best. How exciting it would be to win and to be there. Meanwhile I’ll continue to enjoy your blog.
So stylish. So French. It would be a dream visit.
Love the blog & pictures. Also love Provence, I was lucky to spend six days there last year, when my sister rented a house near Aix
Vicki- your blog has seen me through some of the busiest and challenging times in my life. I don’t drink coffee, but I read your blog and it gets me going, puts me in the zone….that’s a gift. Best of luck with La Maison du Village and to all of those who follow your blog!
“My French Life” And I still remember receiving the hand written card from yourself, then I actually got to see the location of “ Le petit Maison “ Saint Remy
Now another adventure , “La Maison du village” so dreams do come true!
CONGRATULATIONS!!

How wonderful to have your dream come true, it looks lovely.
I haven’t been to France is such a long time, and long to return. Your blog and your style are so chic and unique, and I know your little inn will be the same. Thank you for your lovely offer, and here’s to you and your new venture! I would love to visit with you and drink a glass of rose in St. Remy! Bonne chance a tout!
I love st Rémy
Well the five minutes I spent there in transit
I vowed to go back to explore as it looked just like the sort of town I would fall in love with.. small quaint movie back drop full of charm and wonderful people – fast forward ten years and I still haven’t made it back..
I do visit vicariously through you Vicki in my reading your blogs .
I love St Remy and so want to go back
Dear Vicki – I’m planning to spend my 60th “Centre of Attention Day” in Provence in July next year. Staying at La Maison would be the icing on my birthday cake !! Congratulations on the beautiful re-birth of La Maison du Village!! xx
Dear Vicki, I would love to stay at La Madison in St. Remy. I could explore the hidden scenes of Provence.
My 78-year old friend, Charlotte (who I met in a French class), first told me about St. Remy and about you, Vicki. She even gave me your books for my birthday last year! She would like to return to St. Remy, a place she and her late husband often visited when they lived in Europe. I would like to take her on a “vacances de filles” next year while she is still willing and able to travel. It would be the best surprise and the best trip ever!
Dear Vicki
I love that you have the courage to keep moving the goalposts and sense of adventure. Fingers crossed I’m the lucky one
Cheers crawford
Always look forward to reading your blog, it allows one to dream. Would love an opportunity to visit the South of France. It looks amazing.
Vicki, I’ve been a fan of your blog and books for years. You helped fuel my love of all things French! I’ve been on my own for several years, but am looking forward to retiring soon. A trip to Provence has long been a retirement dream! Thank you for the magic of your words!
Your blog allows one to dream. Would love an opportunity to visit the South of France. It looks amazing.
Hi Vicki, I love your blog and posts. It would be wonderful to be able to return to beautiful St Remy on our next trip to Europe. What an amazing giveaway. So generous. Lorraine, Australia
Thanks for this great opportunity Vicki. I will be visiting St Remy in October and I’ll call in and say ‘G’day’!
Hi Vicki, I visited Provence a few years ago for a very short time. We were thinking of trying again this fall. Would love the opportunity. FYI, love your blog.
Bloody gorgeous!!!
Pick me!
Your blog is inspirational! I have never been to Provence, it is on my bucket list! Keep up the good work, La Maison looks amazing!
Vicki, I’m so ready to return to Provence and especially St Remi, it’s been a few years since we stayed at La Petite Bijou which we absolutely fell in love with….. it’s a long way from Australia. I have a major birthday at the end of the year and this would be the perfect stay to base another visit around. Thankyou for such a wonderful offer.
I love your blog and all things Frenvh too.
Oh my dear it would be divine to stay in your lovely Inn! Fingers crossed!
PS Vicki that beautiful big star in the fireplace looks familiar. Didn’t you have something similar in your own place at St Remy? Seem to remember it from earlier photos. Or maybe this is its sister? If the responses to your giveaway are any indication, La Maison will be a huge hit and do super well. Of course! Best wishes, Pamela
Oh wow. What an exciting and generous opportunity! Merci! My fingers are crossed. I love both of your books.
Dear Vicki,
I look forward daily to reading your column and have been following with great interest your meticulous re-imagining of La Maison du Village, Saint Remy de Provence. My husband and I turn 70 next year and were chatting the other day about our dream holiday to celebrate this milestone. Then I read your generous offer this morning and i could think of no better way to celebrate than at your beautiful La Maison.
Thank you for your blog.
It looks glorious. Just this little glimpse made me sigh …
Stunning! I can’t wait to see photos of the guest rooms and rest of La Maison! I’m looking forward to planning a visit!
Thank you for your generosity. Et c’est mon rêve.
I’ve loved your style since your first book. It would be heavenly to experience it first hand!
I have been in love with Provence since the first time I took a group of my students there! I have always wanted to visit St. Rémy, but I have never had that opportunity. I would love to stay at your place! It looks absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your blog and your love of Provence!
Hello Vicki, you are wonderful and you are living the dream most of us desire! Thank you for sharing your live in France with us – your fashion writings are a favourite! I love Paris and have been there 4 times; it is never enough! I want to go back and especially to visit Provence, which I have never been to, but heard so many good things about! A visit to your wonderful ‘La Maison’, would be my first stop! Winning this prize and perhaps meeting you too would be a dream come true for moi! Thank you for your wonderful gift to some very lucky person! xx Teri

La Maison would be icing on the cake as my sister and I have not been to that part of France.
Merci Beaucoup.
I would love to go to Saint-Rémy! Thank you for your offer!
Hi Vicki, I’ve been reading your blog every day for years! I’m excited to enter for a chance to visit Provence. You are my inspiration for decorating my home and growing older gracefully. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to stay in one of your beautiful properties.
What a generous gift! I for one would be honored to win, but either way I feel pretty amazed that you’re offering a stay to your readers :)
Vicki, I would die to visit your beautiful space in Provence, everything about the French and Provencal way of life calls me. Best wishes, Karen xx
We are heading to France / Provence in June from W.A. and have not booked accommodation as we are hoping to just roam and book as we go. Saint Rémy is a definite after reading your article awhile back. Thanks for your inspiration
O! Pick me! I am over worked, underpaid and seriously in need of a get away. LOVE love love France.
Hi Vicki
I am from a small village of Mount Kembla in Australia, I have dreamed of going to Paris since I was in my first year of school. My dream finally came true on the 4th June 2016 my husband and myself traveled to Paris and after one week we picked up a car and drove out of Paris and just drove along back roads and stayed in little out of the way places. We ended up in Provence thanks to your book and stayed in a beautiful little home stay for a week with lovely hosts. I celebrated my 50th Birthday in Provence and our 30th wedding anniversary and I cannot wait to go back. I have both your books (well read) and always have admired your style.
I would love to have an excuse to have to travel back to France in 2019 and stay in your beautiful home, maybe my wish will come true again.
Thank You xx
Bonjour Vicki ! I’ve discovered your blog a few months ago and what you’ve done with Le petit bijou is incredible ! I am French, but from the south west, and I know deep inside me that it’s not where I belong. I fell in love with Provence 2 years ago, it felt like home. It would be a dream come true for me to come back to this region, and even more if it means that we could meet. It would be amazing for me to see the person behind the blog and to visit Le petit bijou for real :) Finger crossed ! Bisous, Ada.
I look forward to your emails every single day. The topics and the photographs are always interesting. Thank you!
We were in Provence three years ago and have many wonderful memories. Another trip would be heavenly!
St Remy is one of my favourite places in the world- such a beautiful home to stay in too! ❤️
J’adore Saint Rémy!!! Merci bien! 🌸
Hi Vicki, I just returned from my first trip to France, and fell in love immediately. I cannot wait to return and this trip would be perfect! ~Vicki
Hi Vicki
I love your books and your blog, so it would be such a joy to stay in your boutique hotel.
Thanks for your generous offer.
Best wishes to you and yours
Adrienne
I have been fortunate to have stayed in Saint Remy twice in the last ten years,it is a divine village! I would love to be able to meet up with my (now grown up children) In a place that holds so many fond memories.
I am interested in a stay! Looks lovely!
Cartwheeling my way into Provence! Would love to share a glass of wine with you at La Maison du Village! Thank you for such a generous giveaway.
This would be such a delightful and remarkable occasion! You truly are an inspiration and your design is timelessly elegant. My fingers are crossed (and my toes!)
Thank you for this opportunity & best wishes to you!
Thank you ~
Enchante.
I will add my name to the over 400 entries! Like them all would love to win this.
Hi Vicki, love the styling, sure the rest will be fabulous if it follows on from this. Can’t wait to see more. Have been following you for years, thanks for entertaining us all so beautifully.
Congratulations, Vicki! My husband and I had two wonderful vacations in Paris, and each time we were unable to travel on to Provence. As much as we love Paris, visiting Provence and more of France continues to be on our wish list. It is so generous of you to offer a stay at your lovely La Maison for one of your readers. One way or another, we would love to experience it. Best wishes to you!!
Would so adore a time with you in the beautiful Provence. My dream. Thank you for sharing this exciting trip!
Your fourth child….what a project to undertake!…..however the end product is fabulous!!
Congratulations!

Greetings, Vicki! First, thank you for your thoughtfulness in opening La Maison du Village du Village in the centre of Saint Rémy de Provence to one of us! Ah, what a thrill it would be. Second, your blog is an inspiration. I love your style and grace and your creativity, ingenuity and imagination! Thank you, my dear! Xo, Vicki
Would love to stay in this place. We are in the midst of booking our first trip to France later this year. I have been researching where to visit and stay in the countryside, trying to make the most of a very long held dream coming to fruition. I have looked long at Provence and Avignon/Saint Rémy de Provence due to reading France Essence a number of years ago – it was the beginning of my passion for France! After reading your book, I discovered your blog, listed in the bio. I had never heard of a blog at that stage. Yours was the first I followed in a long delightful process of discovering places and beauty connected through blogs all around the world. Now my husband and are finally coming, recently set loose in the empty nesters phase of life. This trip is really for me! France and England are the countries we are visiting…… we are from Melbourne Australia, which was another reason I was captivated by your book as it was very easy to imagine your journey.
We are planning to come down by train to Avignon and explore the area via hire car. A stay in your gorgeous place would be wonderful, beyond my dreams…. 🌳❤️💚
Vicki, what a treat I would love to see all the fabulousness you have created. Having been so lucky to have stayed in some of your homes I know it will be amazing just as you are. Karen
I’ve been to Paris and the North but long for a trip to Provence. Its been lovely to follow your journey!
24 May is my birthday so I am feeling lucky 😉
We found Saint Remy last year and fell in LOVE with the city. Everything about Saint Remy fills all
my passions…I could live there forever!!
We found Saint Remy last year and loved everything about it – my dream village…I could live there forever!!
Thank you for your lovely gift to your fans! You inspire me; I love all things French! Winning a stay at La Maison would be a dream come true for moi! xx Teri
Hi Vicki!
So exciting – another property in the most lovely if all Provincial towns- St. Rémy is simply the prettiest. Have both your books and have stayed in St. Rémy 3 times in the last decade and miss it so right now!
Would love to see your new hotel and introduce my boyfriend to the wonders of the area.
Provence! Oh la la! Vicki, Love your blog. C’est magnifique!
How I would love to come and stay at La Maison du Village – a dream come true – congratulations on all the hard work and best of luck with your new venture!
Vicki, best wishes for every success in your wonderful new venture – it is sure to be absolutely divine. Fingers, toes, legs & arms crossed for good luck – it would be the most lovely 4 nights!
Even when I’m super busy and delete most emails, I alway read yours! I wouldn’t want to miss out on any of your stylish, inspiring advice.
I haven’t been to Provence in many years, so of course I would love a chance to stay there, especially in a hotel decorated with your sense of elegance!
Thank you Vicki for your generous offer! Oh I would luv to meet you and sit around your French Table and chat about the amazing journey we all are travelling on . What a fabulous idea! Can I bring my Suedo French girls friends from Australia too? Your must be having a ball decorating. When are you going to put together another book?
A trip there would be a dream come true! I so enjoy everything you share on your blog.
To win this opportunity to visit Provence and stay in this lovely property would be a dream come true. I have followed your blog for years and have loved everyone of your posts.
Congratulations Vicky 👏👏!
Would loved to bring our Aloha Vibes to La Maison du Village! Oh I can see me stringing some local flowers to make a lei and walk around your La Maison du Village as island girl meets St Remy’s life style and create the most extraordinary memories for a lifetime! Thank you so much for this opportunity!
Much Love & Aloha, 🌴🌺🍍
Theresa
Hello from Australia! We had the privilege & pleasure of staying at your apartment in Saint Rémy with friends a couple of years ago – simply superb! It would be a dream to return & see your Hotel – congratulations on your new venture! Best wishes, Lori Farrar
We are planning to do a trip to Europe during the off season, without all the tourist crowds, and this would put France on the itinerary. Looks stunning, wishing you all the best with this exciting new journey you are taking. (Just remember that Fawlty towers was based on reality, not fiction! …… Now there’s a thought, your own TV series showcasing some of the beautiful environments that you create!?)
Vicki, I have spent the last few years waxing lyrical to my beautiful sister about my exquisite holiday I had at Le Petit Bijou and my admiration for you. She lives in Cape Town and I live in Australia and I a trying to encourage to to start meeting me at various locations other than our respective Home towns – how I would love for her to visit La Maison du Village – she has rarely travelled out of South Africa – St Rémy would be the perfect spot for us to start our travel journeys that we hope to do for many years to come 😘
Just in case…once again, what an amazing generous giveaway! As a dedicated follower of everything Vicki Archer, it would be incredible to be able stay in St Rémy at your beautiful Hotel La Maison du Village & hopefully spend some time with you! Desperately keen!!…
My wife and I had a fabulous week in St Remy last June and can’t wait to go back. It is our favourite part of Provence and being great Vincent fans it would give us a chance to re-acquaint! Staying at the gorgeous La Maison du Village would be the icing on the cake.
What a lovely giveaway. I would love to win a visit to St. Remy and La Maison du Village. I would carry the beauty of the memories that I would make there in my heart for the rest of my life.
A dream come true indeed! What a wonderful place, would love to visit and see for myself.
How wonderful. Great chance to have a wonderful holiday.
La Maison du Village – Saint Rémy, sounds so exciting I am already packed and ready to go. Your blog is worth getting my reading glasses out and really enjoying whilst relishing in all my beautiful favourite things. All Good Things with your new venture. Holding thumbs …… for this great giveaway:)
Just exquisite!
I love your blogs, great to experience fashion, style through your eyes Vicki. Would love to visit Provence!
Vicki your French Essence blog was invaluable to me when I planned a long awaited trip to St Remy and surrounding towns with my husband in 2015. We had a wonderful time visiting the various markets shops restaurants and places you’d written about sampling various foods buying a few pieces of vintage linen etc. The opportunity to go back again would be a dream come true.
What a wonderful competition. I have enjoyed watching your transformation of Le Petit Bijou and would love to stay in her one day, and now a chance to stay in her Big Sister. How Divine. Judging by the number of readers entering well are all thinking how fabulous it would be to win. Thank you for your generous offer. I do hope that I win!
Vicki how wonderful it would be to go back to Provence and stay in your new hotel. After following your blog for a very long time i would love to experuence a ‘Vicki’ renovation.
As everyone else has said, to win would be a dream come true. I can only hope and dream.
Would be a treat to spend 4 days at LA MAISON DU VILLAGE ………. it looks just beautiful! Congratulations.
How gracious and generous of you! I have your French Essence book and I love it! It would be a dream come true for me to visit Provence and especially La Maison. Thank for all that you do. My world is so much richer because of all the things you have shared.
Dear Vicki,
Thank you for this delightful and generous gesture; what a fun opportunity for your readers to enjoy dreaming of the possibilities!
Love, Sheralyn
🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻💃🏻🌞🥐🥖🍷🍾💞🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 Just a tad excited about this experience! I am Living in London currently with my husband and La Maison Du Village is now on my travel list!! Wow 🙌🏻
Hi Vicki I love your blog being absolutely passionate about interiors – particularly anything connected with France. Such style; such flair! I can’t afford holiday this year due to limited funds – but have been promised flight to somewhere in Europe for my 70th birthday. Can you imagine how ecstatic I would be if I won this fabulous, generous offer and could stay in such a divine place. All fingers and toes crossed. x
We explored Provence for the first time in 2016 and loved Saint Remy de Provence and would love to return. Your style is stunning.
Kind Regards
The Prentice Family Australia

Hi, Vicki. I have followed you for a while now and look forward to anything you say about France. I was lucky enough to visit St. Remy just once and it was bonus that it was market day! Unfortunately my husband and I were there for just a few hours. I have dreamed of coming back and a stay at your lovely La Maison would be a dream!
Love
You and Janelle McCulloch and Heather Clawson kept me from the brink after the February 2011 Earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand . I immediately moved to Auckland and started my life at 60 years of age again. I didn’t know where I would live or work . I lost all hope that I would ever have a home , dream again and ever travel again . Until the earthquake I had been too busy to follow bloggers . I am a reader, but had no concentration . So I longingly followed the three of you and you all fed different parts of my soul. I wrote and thanked Janelle and she replied with a long email giving me suggestions. Forgive me for never thanking you . I never thanked heather either! I have a love affair with the country you live in. I live in a tiny apartment I call Le Mouchoir de Poche. I have a little house on Waiheke Island I call Slightly Foxed , named after a bookshop in London and would love you to stay there as my guest if you ever came to this land . Serendipity has been at work for you and for me. So many grateful thanks for the part you have played in who I now am.
Having been the recipient of your generosity, (a week at Le Petite Bijou) it would be too greedy to hope to win again, but will definitely put your latest gem on my Wishlist for when we next return to France. Wishing you and David every success with your latest venture. xx
I would be in seventh heaven to be able to stay in your ‘Maison’ and to be in St Rémy! It’s been a number of years but I remember loving the entire area. I’m sure such a beautiful woman like yourself will have made the Maison a gorgeous, welcoming retreat! I have both all my fingers and my toes crossed!!!
We are in France next year and this would be a wonderful treat
La Maison du Village looks amazing. I have followed updates with close interest, and would really love to experience it for myself.
What an amazing place. We spent our 20th wedding anniversary staying in various locations in the South of France last September. If only we had discovered La Masion previously it would definitely have been at the top of our list to book for a night or two.
Best wishes
Tracy
My husband and I spent a fabulous 5 nights in the South of France last summer for our 20th wedding anniversary starting off in Salon. If only we had discovered the amazing La Maison sooner it would definitely been on our list to book for a night or two. I would love to win the opportunity to return to the area.
Best wishes
Congratulations on a new venture. Wishing you joy and much success with La Maison
Looks beautiful, I’ve heard St Remy is just gorgeous. Would love the experience ❤️
Congratulations on making your dreams come true Vicki! An opportunity to visit La Maison du Village in Saint Remy would be my dream come true – over the rainbow from Melbourne, Australia to France.
I would love to come and visit your beautiful hotel all the way from New Zealand. I love your website it’s so inspiring.
I love Provence and there is always something new to discover. St Rémy de Provence would be the perfect base for a short break.
I love French Essence. It would be amazing to immerse myself in the experience in person.
Provence is the most beautiful place on earth after Andalucia and Sicily
Ahhhhhh, Saint Remy-de-Provence….always longing for more of Provence.
What a wonderful place to stay. Please count me in for the opportunity to stay there. We love that area of France
Hi Vicki I’ve had a chuckle to myself In the many years I have been following you, I have never seen so many replies to one of your emails it’s fantastic!! Congratulations on the completion of La Maison du Village I which for you so much satisfaction and fun, enjoy your new venture. As one of your Australian followers I’d love to come and have a look :)
You probably don’t realise but your enthusiasm for St Remy prompted my late husband and I to visit for my 50th birthday 10 years ago. He died last year and I would love to go back and trip down memory lane in what I feel is one of the most beautiful villages I’ve ever been in. Thank you for this opportunity x
What a beautiful place! I would love to spend my 50th birthday here! Bonne chance à moi!
Bonjour!
Last summer me and my husband visited St Remy and it was a magic experience. In the evening we strolled along the narrow streets. We met a man. He looked happy and somehow enlighted. When we were back at our home in the city of Helsinki we read about the death of Peter Mayle. We looked at eachother and knew, he was the man with the enlighted face in St Remy. Our love for St Remy got a new, deeper meaning.
I would love to visit your property
C’est manifique Vicki- fantastique
Merci bien X
(bonne chance a moi)
Wow, what a gorgeous maison you have in such a beautiful part of the world!
I would love to have the opportunity to return! Meanwhile, our reservations for “La Maison” are confirmed July 2,3,4, 2018. Your interiors have the tease of a surprise package beautifully wrapped!
Enjoyed our stay at Le Petit Bijou last June. We’d love to experience your newest property!
So beautiful! You always do such a fabulous job!
I have been reading your site for a long time and absolutely love it! I try to spend a month in Paris yearly in my favorite apartment since I was a French teacher for 32 years. It would be wonderful to revisit Provence and stay in St. Remy!
Vicki, This is so exciting; it would be so wonderful to win!! Thank you for the opportunity. :)
Fantastique!
St. Remy is my favorite place to visit & I have even spent Christmas there. So to win 4 nights in your new place would be a real treat. It looks very interesting.
Cheers! Hoping it will be my lucky day.
What a fantastic opportunity for a wonderful 39th Anniversary trip! Thanks so much, fingers crossed!

To return to France is a long time dream of mine. I lived there as a young girl while my dad studied neurosurgery in Montpellier and loved every minute of our time there!
How wonderful that you are opening a special hotel at this time.
Kathy
Wow! Look at all the wonderful responses to your post! You’ve got what we all would love to experience! I’ve had the good fortune to have recently stayed in St Remy and it was a dream come true! Another visit is on the books, you could make it happen faster! ❤️

Thank you, Vicki, for the opportunity. Just thinking of the possibility makes me smile!
Love the tips and great advice.

It would be a wonderful dream to stay in La Maison du Village. We have visited Paris twice, and both times we were unable to travel south to Provence. The south of France will always be on our wish list. Maybe it will come true sooner than we thought!?! Merci, Vicki, and best wishes to you always.
I would love an opportunity to visit Provenance and stay in your lovely hotel! I’m an artist and painting en Plein Air in that part of France has always been a dream of mine!

I am the one who told you how much I loved your hair in a picture, when you were vacationing with your husband. 😎🍷

What a marvelous way to experience some of the ways you get your inspirations. I take what I can from your books and am looking forward to your third on Pink. I have learned so much from you and your “travels” about interiors, that being in the atmosphere of it would be the thrill of a lifetime for me.
Yes, a dream come true indeed! Being in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and absorbing as much of it as possible to being back home, but also to be there and learn from you! One of the great inspirations for my well being. Hoping I get to come for a visit,( fingers crossed). Thank You so much.
Vicki I would do anything to win! I am on the other side of the world living in New Zealand but so love following your wonderful blog and have been for many years. If you are ever planning a trip to NZ we would welcome you in our city house or in the beautiful MARLBOROUGH Sounds.

I long for some personal time in a place of peace that reinvigorates my creativity. I truly believe Provence could be that place!
Wonderful France, how i long to get back. To walk in your footprints would be an amazing adventure. Thank you for sharing you Provence.
I love the Provence region; then again, who wouldn’t. Anyway, hoping for some magical times.
Wishing on a starry night!

To visit St Remy would be a dream come true for me. I am slowly re building my life after many losses and a trip to France and staying in this charming property would make me feel a million dollars! I am crossing fingers and toes that I will be the lucky one! You have been an inspiration to me over many years – someone who has got it right in so many ways.

A 4 night stay in beautiful Provence, St. Remy!! What could be more fun?? And to see your style in person! Love it!
I have loved your books since they were first published, and through these and your wonderful blog, you have introduced me to St Remy de Provence. I have followed your restoration of the Maison du Village and would adore the chance to experience St Remy as an “insider” in your beautiful town house. Thank you
I’ve followed you through the years. It would be a dream come true to stay at your property.
Such a lovely and generous offer you have given your readers. I would love to be chosen, but if not me, best wishes to the person who is selected !
We are off to Scotland next year, and I would love to have a stop over in St Remy. Hopefully we could finally meet too.

Have been to France but never here. Would love to stay in your beautiful place!
I love Provence. I took a group of French students there 4 years ago. I’d love to return with my husband.
A wonderful opportunity to stay in a Vicki Archer property in Provence. Now that would be heaven… please count me in
Dearest Vicky,
We have never met yet, a stranger to you from the other side of the globe, somewhere near the south pole has been an avid and delighted fan of yours through the past decade. Watching through your eyes, changing trends and identifying with the age of the letting go of hair colour, to embrace the silver which I now love. Moreover, thank you for opening your world and time to allow folks like me to experience that which we would not have. Thank you. It is with great delight that I, along with millions of other women and men from around the world are putting up their hand to stay in your newly opened Saint Remy de Provence. Hopes, wishes and dreams can come true – I finally believe. Have a wonderful day, no matter how or where you spend it. Thank you Vicky. With love Kim ❌⭕️❣️
Ohhhhhh, what a dream! This is so very generous…it sounds like absolute heaven! I’m not certain I would be able to open my eyes wide enough to take it all in!
I am from Australia and visited France in 2006 and I am planning a return trip, hopefully next year. Would love to visit Provence as part of a longer tour.
It would be enchanting to stay at your beautiful maison in St.Rémy. You created such a charming and inviting place!
It would be wonderful to stay at your charming maison. You created a beautiful, inviting place, bravo!
Looks stunning! A dream holiday escape.
A stay in a lovely home in one of the most beautiful towns in Provence.
Count me in!
Vincent walk, Roman ruins, market day – what’s not to love
Congratulations🥂🛍⚜️🍾on your new venture.
Your dream has become a magical reality.
I have followed your blog for many years and it is still my favorite morning ritual.
My husband proposed to me in France and I would cherish a trip to Provence.
Just found out Monday out of the blue I will need heart surgery to repair my failed valve.
This would be a wonderful gift to help me get thru the difficult months ahead.
I will dream of drinking champagne and toasting life in your little slice of heaven.
Congratulations on acquiring this stunning jewel, it looks incredibly beautiful. And always destined to be yours I think! I’m already daydreaming already of the girlfriends I’d share this beautiful place with should I win. And thank you to @carlalovesphotography for leading me to you. I’m always so grateful for her recommendations, she opens my eyes to beautiful people and places regularly x
I have followed your blog for years. It’s the first I read each. Needless to say I would love to stay at La Maison du Village!
It is our fortieth wedding anniversary this year and it would be a wonderful treat to win this prize.
Hi Vicki,
I am a California Woman who was touched by St. Remy years ago and have recreated it in my little casa in Los Angeles with my gardens and simple style. I still have my table linens from the shops and pay homage to Provence in my soul. I am coming to Provence in July after taking a writing class in Patmos. I will be on my own looking to settle into the village for a few days to soak up the essence and St. Remy is my sweet spot and relax into France. Love to check out your amazing dream so inspired by your blog and vision. Hope to meet you in July and stay at your inn.
I have been to Provence before, but never to St Remy. And I even have books of it. It would be a real highlight on my recovery from surgery!
Wow what a prize, it would be a dream come true to win this xx
Winner is announced on my birthday. If only it could be me
What an amazing prize to an absolutely amazing destination! Good luck everyone.
Found your Brilliant book My French Life in an Op Shop in Country Australia about two years ago. In a word SMITTEN! I immediately subscribed and the book sits proudly on my coffee table for visitors to enjoy. Most of all my husband loves it! We grow olives and Shiraz in Great Western Victoria.
We are presently in Saint Remy and walked by your beautiful hotel on the way to lunch today. It would be an honor to stay in your lovely hotel.

What a beautiful place! Although I am living in South Africa I would love to travel to Provence again…been there 30 years ago.
I just retired from teaching high school French! This would be a fabulous start to retirement!
I would love to visit this beautiful location!
Congratulations on an exciting new venture! Win or lose the giveaway… I’m SO EXCITED to see how this darling property looks in real life! It’s definitely on my “Stay Here” list… Cheers!
I would love to visit your hotel and Provence. Your advice for a woman of my age is inspiring. I am more confident and stylish now than at any other time in my life and that is due, in part, to your blog.
My husband and I plus Sister-in-law and her husband are going to Provence in September/October. We are still at the planning stage but our top “must see” on our trip is St. Remy! We are all in our 60’s/70’s so we want to see everything on our bucket list before traveling and walking distances become a chore due to age. We would love to stay at your accommodations. A dream come true! Consider us please!
First of all, Congratulations! And the hotel sounds and looks beyond charming. What a lovely chance.
This is truly one of our favorite places in the world and your new place looks wonderful.
We are currently renovating a house in San Miguel de Allende.
Lot’s of work but always a labor of love.
Want to swap?
I simply must win! My bags are packed!
What a dream it would be to go to St Remy and stay at La Maison du Village! I know you will put your exquisite touch on the property and it will be another jewel.
Best wishes from a long time reader!
YES YES YES! Pick me!! Simply splendid.
What a tasteful décor – the emerald green and soft pinks you mentioned on a different page are a lovely combination that I would never have put together. We’ve been to France but never as far south as Provence so what a lovely treat it would be to win! Even if I don’t your lovely place will be bookmarked for a future visit.
Stunning like everything else you do.
La Maison du Village looks absolutely gorgeous. What a wonderful place to stay, especially in gorgeous Saint Remy de Provence …. such a spectacular little town.
Love you, your blog and St Remy…

Hi Vicki. I’m from Australia. Love your style and energy and passion. I care for mum who turns 100 in December. It was my dream to be in France in 2017 with my two girls, but couldn’t get there. Your blog is an absolute joy…so beautiful…full of colour and life and so inspiring. I look forward to meeting you one day in Provence; I feel like I already know you. Lots of love.

My mind lives most of the time at La Maison du Village, so it would be fitting for my body to join it, if only for a couple of days!
What you have done with La Maison looks so enchanting Vicki, congratulations! Stumbling across you and David on our evening family walk in Filicudi last year was such a treat (and a blessing after that ridiculous hike haha)! Would love to visit St Remy one day.

Hi Vicki, I was in Saint Remy de Provence in February this year looking for La Maison du Village. I drove around and around and ended up sitting in the carpark I think it is opposite your little street. It was cold and windy. I got out of the car to explore but there were trucks in the street so I went back to the car disappointed that I didn’t get to see you or your maison.I would love a second chance.Merci.
🥂Here’s to hoping my “someday” could be soon! 🍀 Viva la France!🇫🇷
Yes please!!
Vicki, I have been following you and your style for so long online and through your books. How wonderful it would be to enjoy it all in person. Thank you for all the inspiration and pleasure you have brought me.

Hey Vicki,I would like to say that I came across your page today as an advert that I decided to check out. I must admit,your page is AMAZING! I love everything in there.
