Summer in Provence & a Giveaway

by Sarah Nusz

Most years, as a family we holiday in Provence. My husband’s roots are in the south, and half the family lives in Provence, so it’s a joy to gather together to enjoy each others company, the sunshine, the rosé wine and the lovely slower pace of life.

By way of sharing that enjoyment, I’m happy to share our latest My French Country Home Box, which is a true homage to the Provençal region. Every carefully curated item captures the essence of Provence and brings a touch of the South of France into your home. To complement the Box, our latest magazine issue is dedicated entirely to Provence! Filled with stories, recipes, and stunning photography that transport you straight to this magical part of France.

To celebrate, we’re giving away two August Boxes to two lucky clients! It’s a wonderful way to experience a little slice of Provence for yourself or share the joy with someone you love.

Entering the giveaway is simple:
Make sure you’re following us on Instagram and Facebook at @mfchbox and @mfchbox. If you don’t use social media, just leave a comment here on the blog! For extra chances, comment and tag a friend on the giveaway post on Facebook or Instagram.

The winners will be announced here and on social media on Friday, 10th August – bonne chance!

If you’d rather not wait and want to treat yourself or someone special right away, you can purchase a box or subscription anytime by clicking HERE.

Dear Sharon,
When I think of my happy place, it is always memories of trips to France. I will be visiting Narbonne and Carcassonne in October, but Provence is at the top of my list for my next trip. Thank you for spending so much time bringing a taste of France to our everyday lives. I appreciate all the beautiful and romantic journeys you take us on in your blog. Merci!

Your magazine is a beautiful escape from the often uninspired rhythm of daily life. I studied French in my 20s and have long dreamed of visiting France. Now, thanks to your lovely tours, I’m more inspired than ever.

Though I’m no longer in my 20s, you’ve shown me that France isn’t just for the young—it’s timeless. Thank you for offering American francophiles a fresh and elegant glimpse into what it truly means to be French.

France, as you’ve captured it, is more than a destination—it’s a way of life. One that honors the past, delights in the present, and looks to the future with joie de vivre. ❤️

Where shall l begin? Each time a new issue comes to me I feel as if I’m transported to another magical part of France. I love the recipes, have made a few, buy the books that are recommended and enjoy them immensely. Of course each story with lush photography captures the beauty and uniqueness of every place, person or event described. I dole the magazine out slowly so I can relish each section and think about it for a few days before I cannot wait to pick up the magazine and am on to the next delicious treat. Thanks so much for the wonderful experiences throughout the year!

I have been following you since you started your blog and was fortunate to meet you in Seaside, Florida for a book signing. You have always inspired me with your courage and love for gardening. I’m having major spinal surgery this Wednesday on our 42nd anniversary of all times. A year ago this month my husband’s and my special day we spent almost 3 weeks in Provence seeing all its beauty and traveling back to Paris for the Olympics. I dream about going to France again. I get so excited by your Instagram stories, post and also your blog. Thank you Sharon for inspiring us all!

You are so generous in offering your box. But then I associate generosity with all of Provence … generous sunshine, generous peacefulness, an abundance of flowers, aromas, and small delights. I first visited Provence when I turned 19–over 60 years ago! Its magic has never left me.
I would love to win a box, and I thank you for sharing with us your good taste and good times.

Your kind offer to give away a touch of Provence via the Provencal box is very generous. I love the photos in this post. Having lived in the south of France for a time as a child, one of my fondest memories is walking through gorgeous fields of fragrant lavender. There’s nothing that compares to the heady lavender scent on a warm summer day.

Dear Sharon , it would be so lovely to win this box. We had a wonderful sojourn planned for Bonnieux and beyond in 2020. We were so looking forward to it as we thought it would be our last European trip as it is over 24hrs from Australia . but alas it was not to be thanks to Covid. To console ourselves we watch French movies . It only makes us yearn for Provence even more , love from Australia . xxx
