In May this year, Lucienne is leading a tour called Authors and Artists of the South of France for the Art Gallery of NSW, visiting towns and villages from Menton on the Italian border to St Tropez and Aix-en-Provence, to see where artists like Picasso, Matisse and Bonnard & writers F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Mansfield and Anton Chekhov lived and worked, and learn more about what inspired them to live in this most beautiful part of the world. 

 

"Because I lived in the South of France for three years, hosting a popular morning chat show on Riviera Radio, I was able to meet and interview everyone from Prince Albert to Anthony Burgess. I have an insider's knowledge of the area and its history and culture which I love sharing with people."
