Lisa Pepin's Profile

Yesterday we had 1.25 kilos of truffles to deliver to a restaurant in Nice, so we stopped in Valbonne for a quick bite to eat on the way home. We had lunch outside in the sun on December 31st! Unheard-of, even for the South of France. After stopping for a... Continue reading

Welcome to Les Pastras!

As many of you know, Les Pastras is the name of our property, which produces organic fruit, olive oil and black truffles.

Bandol

After resolving to update this blog more frequently, I find myself behind already. A few weeks ago we enjoyed a lovely weekend on the coast. We stayed in La Cadière d'Azur, which isn't technically on the Mediterranean, but is just close enough to the beachfront town of Bandol to count... Continue reading

Le Retour

I've really been neglecting my blog for quite some time, now. There are a lot of reasons for this. First of all, this blog used to be located at Vox, where there was a cute little wine theme at the top and unlimited space for photos and I could actually... Continue reading

Sadly, Tom, I have no photographic evidence of this brush with fame. I do, however, have a photo of Sting in which it is clear that he is looking right at me, and with a very affectionate expression on his face. You can just tell that he regrets we are both married to other people. As for Dominic, I had no idea he used to live in Racine.

Bonjour From Geneva!

We've just returned from a long weekend in Geneva, thanks to my brilliant husband, who somehow managed to get us front row center seats for the Sting concert there (more on that later). I often say that one of the best things about living in Europe is its proximity to,... Continue reading

Hi. Welcome to My New Blog.

I've moved my blog to a new space. Can you feel the excitement? No? That's because there isn't any. This wasn't my choice. Sadly, Vox is shutting down and I have had to move. And just like with any move, stuff got lost. Where did all my photos go? Where... Continue reading
