Welcome to the Moulin de Souchières blog: Discover Provence with Anca and Philippe

Welcome to the blog of Moulin de Souchières, our holiday home in Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue, our blog is dedicated to discovering all the sights of Provence and planning an unforgettable holiday. We are Anca and Philippe, the passionate owners of the Moulin de Souchieres, a former water mill, transformed by us into a delightful holiday home. We have lived in our Moulin de Souchieres in Entraigues for more than 20 years. Philippe, born in the South of France, and Anca, from the Netherlands, are keen to share their experiences and the most beautiful spots of this exceptional region with their holiday guests.

Why this blog?

Our blog was born out of our desire to give our holiday guests the best possible experience during their stay with us. We know how difficult it can be to find reliable and inspiring information about local activities, especially if you want to go off the beaten track. That is why we decided to create this space, to guide and inspire our guests, whether you are looking for relaxation, adventure, cultural discoveries or gastronomy.

Who are we?

Philippe comes from the region and knows Provence like the back of his hand. He grew up on hiking and biking trails, has swum in most of the rivers and knows all the local products. Anca has a fresh and curious outlook on the region she adopted two decades ago. Together, we have explored every nook and cranny, from hilltop villages to famous vineyards, and we would love to share our favorite spots with you.
