Autoren-Porträt von Louise Simpson, Robin Gauldie, Victoria Trott
Lead author Louise Simpson is a travel writer based in Southern France. Having studied French and Spanish at Cambridge University, she worked for a decade in London as a PR director for two leading travel PR agencies and as a writer for numerous UK newspapers and magazines including The Independent on Sunday, Vogue, and Financial Times. She moved to Provence five years ago, where she lives with her husband and daughter. She has co-written this book with Robin Gauldie and Victoria Trott.Robin first visited Southern France in 1972 and has returned almost every year since then, exploring every corner of the region. As a result, he could now drive most of Provence's winding mountain roads blindfold, but prefers not to. He spends part of each year in a ramshackle house in a tiny mountain village, from which he makes frequent forays in search of great places to eat and drink and things to do. A regular contributor to many British newspapers and magazines, Robin is the author of more than 20 guidebooks to destinations around the world, including France.
A travel writer and personal coach, Victoria studied French and Spanish at the universities of Leeds, Lyon and Granada. Having worked as an au pair in the Camargue, this surprisingly remains her favourite region of France. She has travelled extensively in France, where her adventures have included running a chalet company in Courchevel, working as PA to an American billionaire in St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and house-sitting for a film director in Paris.
