Lizzy Parks
From chance arrival to sharing her love of music on the French Riviera

"This is the Riviera Dream that I am living every day."

"There’s a gold mine of possibility for making music here. It’s a very special place. I don’t know many like it."

"I created the Sundown Sisters, a retro vocals, pin-up harmonies trio."

"Chateau de Tourreau in Sarrians, a proper Bridgerton castle."

If Lizzy’s journey resonates, arriving on the French Riviera without a long-held plan, you may also enjoy stories of women whose move to the South of France happened unexpectedly. From Kirsti, who first arrived by boat and was struck by the Riviera’s colours, to Roberta, who discovered the region while working on a yacht. You can also explore Cat’s first visit in the middle of winter rain (and still falling for it), Nita’s move following her husband’s opportunity, and Faye’s arrival for a Monaco shoot that changed the course of her life.

These stories reveal how the Riviera can be a discovery.
