About this episode

Oliver Gee shares the exciting news of buying a house in Provence while continuing to live in Paris.

We bought a house in the charming Provence town of l'Isle sur la Sorgue! That's right: the Pearl of Provence, the Venice of the South, the same place we recorded the Christmas episode last year. And while we'll still live in Paris and do business as usual, this exciting news will surely add a new scent of lavender to everything we do. So: Why did we buy this house? How? What next? Are we leaving Paris? (no). We answer all these questions and more in this week's episode. I'll share pics and videos along the way, be sure you're following our social media channels. *********** The Earful Tower exists thanks to support from its members.
