A network of independent, inspiring and ambitious women

Network Provence offers access to a network of independent, inspiring and ambitious women. We all come from different walks of life but share the love for Provence and the desire to build a flourishing business for ourselves. We all understand that this is best achieved by creating connections with each other. Since I became a member in 2019, I have been able to engage in various projects and connections with other Network Provence women, which made a huge contribution to building my interior design, house hunting and storytelling business.

I am certain that belonging to NetworkProvence and being able to introduce and present what we wanted to do in the February 2020 meeting was another big step forward.

" In the Summer of 2019, I decided to become a Micro Entrepreneur. Well aware of the difficulty to make myself known out of the blue, a friend recommended I join your FB page.
The week I did it, I got to know Isabelle Voisin and we found that we could do something useful and meaningful for the Network Provence community, and for ourselves. So this event alone was a major breakthrough for me. Even if our "business" together is still a bit confidential, I am certain that belonging to Network and being able to introduce and present what we wanted to do in the February 2020 meeting was another big step forward. I did make business and friendly contacts there. Besides, just browsing the Network FB page is always a good starting point for contacts, opportunities and information. Thank you Rebecca for your will and talent to make things happen here".

My interactions with the group have resulted in lasting friendships and wonderful business collaborations

"When I first joined Network Provence, I was not sure what to expect. Since that time, the group has evolved and grown to include an incredible group of ladies with a broad set of experiences. My interactions with the group have resulted in lasting friendships and wonderful business collaborations." ~

What a great group of supportive women!

I moved to the Luberon region of France in 2018 with lots of dreams but unsure how I was going to make those dreams come true. Rebecca and Network Provence was instrumental in getting my business in France off and running. What a great group of supportive women! Thank you for all the recommendations, support and friendship.

Thanks to the very fun and cheerful meetings

I run a private excursion company in Avignon called EXPERIENCE PROVENCE and I have been a member of Network Provence since early 2017.

It's been a true blessing for me to meet all these fantastic ladies, and spend some humanly very enriching moments with them each time we get together .

Rebecca Ronane knows the importance of these human links and builds up not only a real business-related connection but also a solid friendship and solidarity between us all . Thanks to very fun and cheerful meetings, we have been learning so much from each other and our environment . Some have been receiving the support they needed, others have been advised and recommended , and all have been increasing their local knowledge in a very friendly way....

I am so happy to be part of Network Provence family today !!!! Thanks again Rebecca for the time and the energy you spend daily to develop this project and keep it efficient !

Network Provence has made it through the last difficult months

Network Provence has made it through the last difficult months by maintaining meetings online, keeping the link going,  and it was a great breath of fresh air to meet again in person at Château de la Varenne near Avignon, with a good turnout and a generous and warm welcome from Emma at her hotel and home. Ameena Gorton’s presentation was very pertinent and informative. Altogether an afternoon well spent in the lovely autumn sun.

Rebecca does an excellent job of welcoming newcomers and connecting people.

I was lucky enough to have learned about Network Provence within a month of my family's moving to France - February 2017. Our buyer's agent, and now friend, Sophia van Woensel-Mose had exactly the right advice about contacting Network Provence, as I wanted to start my small crafting atelier but did not know anybody here in Luberon. I think I have been to almost every meeting of Network Provence since last February and I always had a great time. Rebecca does an excellent job of welcoming newcomers and connecting people. I have met so many interesting ladies and was lucky to have some of them as clients and to use their services too. I also had the pleasure of bringing some of my new friends to Network Provence and it was a pure joy watching them using the network fully to further their social and professional connections.

Becoming a member of Network Provence was one of my smartest decisions since we moved to Provence. Cheers to you, Rebecca!

The most important part of the meeting was connecting

The September 2021 Network Provence meeting was held at the magical Chateau de Varennes in Sauveterre. The most important part of the meeting was connecting with other women in Provence, hearing their stories. I love how you create a unique space for the group to meet new and interesting people. You have curated a group of well educated, well-travelled and fascinating women.  I absolutely recommend Network Provence to women in Provence who are looking for connections, starting businesses and expanding existing businesses. I felt so inspired during and after the meeting. Thank you, Rebecca, for being fearless and leading the way for women in Provence.

It was a truly great experience today with Network Provence.

It was a truly great experience today with Network Provence. In a most luxurious setting, international Anglophone businesswomen came together to connect, share and get creative. So much inspiring positivity is a welcome benefit to belonging to this group. We are all connected by our love of adventure, creativity, productivity and la Belle Provence. Feeling very grateful for finding myself in such amazing company!

I had such a fantastic afternoon today

I had such a fantastic afternoon today organized by Rebecca from Network Provence.
I have recently joined, and I can’t recommend enough being part of such a talented women's group. I feel so inspired after the meetings with not only new ideas but new connections too.  Working for yourself can be lonely sometimes so being part of such a great group gives me the motivation to keep going. Seeing all these women succeeding means that I can do the same.
If you are also looking for some meaningful connections, come over! Rebecca is a wonderful host, and you don’t see the time pass in such great company!

NP is a network for women where we exchange and support each other

NP is a network for women where we exchange and support each other. I thoroughly enjoy the meetings where I get to hear about new methods of working and get to meet new ladies. It's been hugely beneficial to me to network in this way! Thank you Rebecca for the time and energy you devote!!

Through this network I have been able to advance my professional goals as well as my personal goals.

Last summer I heard about Network Provence from a tour guide in the US and decided to see how this network could work for myself. Since then I have been connecting with fabulous and inspiring women. I find it very enriching to meet other women in a personable and face-to-face context. Let us never forget that meeting with a handshake, "french kiss" and eye contact is essential in our lives and very often becomes that one element that unlocks our own creativity or drive to accomplish our dreams.

Through this network I have been able to advance my professional goals as well as my personal goals. Very grateful to have this unique opportunity to meet the world (and the world it is with all the unique stories of people migrating to Provence).

I always go to the meetings with pleasure, I find it exciting to meet new people with creative ideas and projects. Looking forward to the 2020 opportunities !"

I made new friends

NP has been great for me personally, because of Rebecca's initiative to set up Network Provence, not only have I made new friends, and I am sure more to come in the future, but it has also given me the opportunity to let other NP members know what I am up to as well as find out what they are up to, it's networking, it's positive and we are there to help each other.

You've brought together a potent. compassionate, authentic group of women.

Rebecca Ronane has drawn together a stunning group of women in her wonderful organisation, Network Provence. The genuine sharing, support and love that is shared between members is really something to behold. I addressed the group with a talk on happiness, using my experiences and excerpts from my book - Built for Bliss: The science and psychology of experiencing true happiness. The reception to my journey and that of each others was so beautiful. These ladies are built for bliss. Thank you Rebecca and kudos to you - you've brought together a potent. compassionate, authentic group of women.

Network Provence is a wonderful place to connect with a like-minded group of talented women.

Network Provence is a wonderful place to connect with a like-minded group of talented women. I have attended several meetings and I have always been able to make new connections and collaborations.
As a professional photographer, I have had the opportunity to give a presentation on the power of photos and videos to promote business. It was a rich and successful experience.
Thank you, Rebecca, for allowing us to grow and to connect with such an amazing group of women.

I find everyone very open to share their experience, hints and tips about making the most of life in this wonderful region

It is always a great pleasure to attend a Network Provence meeting. Everyone is very friendly and the speakers are always interesting.

I find it fascinating to listen to the other participants talk about their projects and lives; there is always so much creativity and dynamism in the room.

We're a diverse bunch - but that is part of the appeal,, and I find everyone very open to share their experience, hints and tips about making the most of life in this wonderful region
