“Many thanks for again assisting us with the arranging of having Chef Damien and Lisa provide us with what was an enjoyable, entertaining and most special experience. Everything was perfect and beyond expectations. I spent a considerable amount of time, in the year before our visit to Gordes, selecting the best and most highly recommended restaurants in the area and I would like to say that the quality and presentation of what they prepared far surpassed most and was second to none. I would highly recommend them to any who would express an interest in having Damian and Lisa spend an evening with them.”

“Dinner last night was absolutely superb. The food was excellent, with creative and well-presented dishes, the service impeccable and the chefs extremely nice. All in all a great experience worth every cent. Thanks for recommending chef Yvan!”

Chef Julien prepared a casual lunch for our party of 8, and it was truly divine! He was prompt, friendly, and offered a delicious three-course meal that we will not soon forget. I was amazed that this was in fact his casual menu – each dish was not only tasty, but also beautifully arranged and set in perfect harmony one after the other. It is a memory we will hold dear for a lifetime, and an experience I would highly recommend. It is worth every penny – five stars for Chef Julien!

“We booked a wine tour, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Our guides were knowledgeable, and the wineries we visited were lovely and sold delicious wines. I’m glad we did this at the beginning of our stay, because we bought lots of wine and enjoyed it throughout the week.”


“Thank you again for booking Chef Damien and Lisa to make a special birthday dinner for us in our villa yesterday. They were very professional and so lovely to deal with. Their entire focus was giving us the evening we wanted. The food was spectacular and they couldn’t have been more accommodating of one of our party who has a fish allergy and of the one child in our party. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more and couldn’t recommend them highly enough!”


“Merci beaucoup for our delicious dinner the other evening. The food and the experience, enhanced by the magnificent setting and your own decorative touches , will stay with us as a lasting memory of our time in Provence.”

“My friends and i enjoyed having Claire as our guide for two days in early September. She was so professional and entertaining. She made Avignon really come alive to us, and we just loved our visits to Gordes, Rousillion and Goult and, of course, we loved the tours of the wineries in Châteauneuf du Pape!!
Quite simply put, she’s the best!!”


“Thank you Chef Marie for preparing such a wonderful meal for my family. All five of us loved it! It was absolutely delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Vous etes vraiment une artiste! I think it is a meal we will remember for a long time. It was also a pleasure to meet you. Thanks again for being a part of our Provence vacation. We hope to see you again!”


“Totally off the chart! Cannot believe the fantastic dinners and delightful experiences with all! Biggest grateful appreciation to Louise who is tireless and patient with all arrangements and changes and forever gracious to the utmost!”

“We LOVED Chef Marie! She made a superb meal for us and she was as lovely as could be. It was wonderful to celebrate a really memorable birthday. Everything was great from presentation to the amazing food to a very clean kitchen. We are very grateful. Please thank her again for us!”


“I would highly recommend Eric our wine tour guide as well. We had a lot of fun with him and he is extremely knowledgeable about wine and wine making which made the tour even more interesting. He clearly was very familiar with the wineries we visited and was entertaining throughout the day.”


“Thank you for a wonderful day. Sebastien exceeded the expectations for each person in our group. We experienced things that would never have been possible without your guided agenda. George and the goat cheese visit was most interesting and delicious. Jean-Baptiste’s lunch was over the top from start to finish. The art exhibition was both unique and a most wonderful surprise – awesome! Ending with the overlook of Les Baux-de-Provence provided some of the best views and pictures of our week… great memories.”


Chef Gerald prepared our last evening’s dinner. It was incredible!!! Elegant and personifying French culinary perfection. Several in the group said that it was one of the best meals they have ever had. And with this group, that is an achievement. Truly a memorable culinary experience!!! (Lucy and I completely agree).”


“I just wanted to send you this quick email to thank you for providing the chefs for our trip to France. All of the chefs were fantastic, each offering a different style and element to our experience. Elodie was also a great tour guide for us!”


“A short note of thanks once again for your lovely dinner at Mas St Roch last week. We were all so very impressed with the beautiful table you set for our families, and of course the food was outstanding. It was our great pleasure to meet you and Valerie, and we send you both warm regards. The memories of a delightful experience will remain as a highlight of our vacation in Provence.”


“Thank you so much for the wonderful chef recommendation. Chef Damien was fantastic, and provided our family with an amazing meal and a fun dining experience. Highly recommend him.”

“I just wanted to send along so many thank-you’s for all of your help in making our vacation so much better with the wonderful dinner prepared for us by Chef Gerald! He did an amazing job, and had nothing but raves from everyone!! Chef was very attentive and personable and we enjoyed him and his food as well. Again thank you for being so lovely and helpful. You helped bring much joy to the week!!


“We booked a wine tour, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and the wineries we visited were lovely and sold delicious wines. I’m glad we did this at the beginning of our stay, because we bought lots of wine and enjoyed it throughout the week.”

“Our tours were outstanding. Both guides were well prepared and interesting. They were very attentive to all our needs and requests. Thank you for such an outstanding experience.”


“The tour was lots of fun, the drivers were very knowledgeable and the guides/ hostesses at the wineries were gracious and helpful. The lunch venue had a dramatic view and food was delicious- just what we were looking for. Well done!”


“Stephan did a great job imparting his extensive knowledge of wine in a way that matched the various levels of wine knowledge in our group. He was terrific and we really enjoyed our day with him. One of the three wineries we went to, in retrospect, were not that interesting or impressive.”


“We went with Sébastien yesterday to Verdon Gorge and wanted to thank you for arranging us with him. He was excellent!!! Very knowledgeable, fun, friendly etc everything you could ask for a tour guide!!!”


“Through Only Provence we hired three different chefs to come to the house and cook for us: Chefs Sophie, Gerald and David. All three were excellent. Our favorite ended up being Chef Gerald who we hired for an additional night.”
