The really exciting news is that we, my wife and three kids (daughter Julie 21, sons Sam, 12 and Simon, 9) decided to move to Canada for a year or so. I am working at a local wine shop, and meeting lots of new people. Even though Kelowna, B.C. is beautiful, we still miss our house and St. Quentin, France.
You might ask yourself why anyone would want to move away from such a fabulous part of the world. Well, all I can say is that I love a bit of adventure from time to time.
Lets get back to St. Quentin: A great small community of people from all over the world that have taken a liking to the laid back, sunny way of life here. A mix of retired French and assorted northern Europeans with a smattering of Brits, a few Americans and two Canadians. And of course all the St. Quentinois who’ve been here forever. For them we won’t qualify as locals for at least another two generations. But in spite of this everyone seems to get along very well.
Interested in a little adventure your-self? Or can you think of anyone who might be interested in spending a year or less in Provence; renting our house? If so, please follow the link below or forward it on to them. Thank you.

This lovely stone house is located in St-Quentin-la-Poterie, a Provencal potters village. I am sure you will enjoy your stay in St. Quentin as much as we do. Also know that I am happy to share everything there is to share about our house and the “ville and its people”. Get in touch… looking forward.
Slainte, Joe McLean
