Bonjour!

My name is Emily and I am the founder of Joie de Vivre, a bespoke travel planning service dedicated to crafting unforgettable vacations and experiences in Provence, France. Based in the Boston area, I have been captivated by Provence’s beauty, culture, and charm for the past 20 years. My extensive travels throughout the region have deepened my expertise, enabling me to design personalized itineraries that reflect my passion for this enchanting part of the world.

Driven by my ongoing pursuit of French fluency, I seek to foster a genuine connection with the people and culture of Provence. My approach combines meticulous attention to detail with a deep appreciation for the region’s unique allure, ensuring each journey is as magical as the destination itself.

I have enjoyed a successful career in financial planning, helping hundreds of families achieve their financial goals. Through this work, I came to realize that life’s greatest treasures are the experiences and memories we share with loved ones—a philosophy that inspired me to create Joie de Vivre.  An avid home cook and enthusiastic host, I share my love of good food and great company with family and friends at my coastal New England home, where I live with my husband Joe.  I am passionate about helping others embrace the spirit of Joie de Vivre and look forward to sharing this spirit with you!
