ITS FOUNDER, SABINE SCORSONE
I have a strong/solid experience in tourism and real estate.
I graduated from a business school and have a master’s degree in International Management of Tourism.
I had the pleasure, for approximately ten years, of working in the seasonal rental world in the Luberon, and for 2 years on the Côte d’Azur, until 2008.
In 2009, I wished to create a business that reflected my values, respectful of men, women, and nature. Then The Company Plaisirs & Maisons de Provence is born.
Moreover, as a mother of 2 little boys, my real ambition is to pass my values on to them, values such as the respect of things and beings that surround us. To show them that with willpower everything is feasible and with action and commitment things can change!
I also wish to teach them the little everyday gestures that preserve the environment and respect their bodies like healthy eating habits of seasonal and quality products.
This website reflects my philosophy on life, and my frame of mind: sharing, respecting, simplicity and the pleasure of living!
It’s also the fruit of a long reflection and a meticulous prospection of the region, which greatly pleased me.
I personally enriched myself. Every day, I discovered spectacular places, and had priceless encounters.
With this offer, I'd like to introduce you to our beautiful Provence:
- To show you the beauty of the landscapes I love.
- Help you discover the flora and fauna while respecting its protected areas.
- Take you from village to village, discovering our heritage, tastes, and colours.
- To help you meet the people who live here, who respect their trades, know-how, and traditions.
I also want to work towards sustainable tourism.
However, there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve 100% sustainable holidays.
The success of the project depends on the mobilisation of all those involved and on your interest in the issues we are dealing with.
I hope to see many of you there to share some happy moments with us!

With a BTS in “Real Estate Professions” obtained in 2021, I quickly made my debut in a real estate agency in Arles, my favorite city.

I am passionate about discovering the treasures that our magnificent world holds! I invite you to discover those of Provence, a unique little corner of France, mixing tradition and nature.
Dear tenants, I am here to find you the villa of your dreams, the one that will transform your vacation into unforgettable memories.

Aline, Travel Consultant
With a Master's degree in Technical Translation, I love discovering new cultures, learning foreign languages, developing my creativity and digital skills... and exploring the world of personal development to better understand the human being.
Born in Provence, I decided to return to my native land after completing my studies and living abroad: rich in new encounters and experiences, I never forgot its sunshine, enchanting landscapes, and gastronomy, punctuated by the song of the cicadas and the scents of Provence...
For several years, I worked in technical translation, as well as in the hospitality and well-being of holidaymakers in the hospitality sector, and in trilingual digital communication in the tourism sector. Always eager to learn and in search of something new, I joined the Plaisirs & Maisons de Provence team in November 2023: what could be better than to be able to participate in your future vacation plans in our beautiful region?
My role here is to advise you on your future stay in Provence, whether in French, English, or Italian, but I can also take care of the administrative and accounting side of the agency's business, working directly with our manager.

Coralie, Travel Consultant & Social Media Manager
My journey in tourism began more than 15 years ago, after obtaining my BTS Tourism. I had the opportunity to work in Aix-en-Provence, where I was able to develop my skills in reception, consulting, and events.
In 2022, I felt the need to renew myself and take on new challenges. This is how I embarked on training in digital marketing, discovering in the process a new passion for communication on social networks.
Since April 2024, I have been delighted to be part of the Plaisirs & Maisons de Provence team because I have the opportunity to combine my two passions: sharing my love for our magnificent region by advising visitors, and expressing my creativity through communication strategies aimed at increasing the visibility of our agency.
I look forward to helping you discover the wonders of Provence and making your stay unforgettable!

That's why I joined the Plaisirs & Maison de Provence team in 2024, to bring my expertise and complete a great team of professionals with experience in their respective fields.

Fiona, Apprentice Travel Consultant
After two years studying in the Pyrénées Orientales region of France, where I graduated with a BTS in tourism and learned the basics of tourism through a comprehensive training course and several experiences, such as work placements and voluntary events, I decided to return to my native region to rediscover the charms it has to offer.
I joined the Plaisirs & Maisons de Provence team as a work-study student at a business school specialising in tourism for the year 2024-2025.
By joining the team, I'll be getting in-depth training so that I can provide you with comprehensive support and contribute to the exceptional holidays you'll be able to enjoy in Provence in the future.

Noé, Property Sales Apprentice
Since I was very young, I've been involved in the holiday rental business with my mother.
I visit houses and learn how the business works. I've always enjoyed it.
That's why I decided to do my ‘bac pro commerce’ as an apprentice in the family business so that I could get involved and work in a company that I've known all my life.
