About my area

The name "Provence" alone lets you indulge in lovely images: gentle, hilly landscapes, pine and olive trees, lavender fields as far as the eye can see and, of course, long tables fully laid with delicious fresh fruits, various types of cheese and good rosé wines. And one may also immerse in the rich colors of the Provence: here a blue sky is a real royal blue sky, the endlessly different greens of the trees and not to forget the bright colors of the flowers in spring time and early summer …. They were all ample inspiration to many great artists in the past. And this is where we live and work. Our professional sphere of activity around the picturesque village of Pierrevert offers everything you need (in addition to being an attractive holiday area in the Luberon) for permanent living: the proximity to the larger city of Manosque with various hospitals and international schools, the cultural calendar in Aix-en-Provence (40 minutes by car) and the quick accessibility of all international connections through the TGV train station in Aix-en-Provence or the airport in Marseille (appr. 1 hour). To spend your leisure time in the weekends the lakes of the Gorge du Verdon, the beaches between Toulon and Marseille and the Southern Alps offer plenty of possibilities for sports and relaxation. So welcome to one of the most diverse regions in France.

About me

Provence has been our passion and second home for more than 20 years - finally it became our first in 2018. Our Dutch-German origins and our respective careers in international companies enable us to professionally communicate in multiple languages. Dickjan Poppema: “Marketing has always been my passion. Back in Germany it used to be fast moving consumer goods and packaged holiday travel (TUI), but now I market and sell dreams, which is wonderful. I am passionate about taking the time to really advise my customers on beautiful Provence properties. And as a former CEO of international companies I know how important it is to collaborate with a partner who not only lives up to my high professional standards, but who also has a unique selling proposition for vendors: its large international client base. That's why Daniela and I teamed up with Leggett Immobilier.” Daniela Poppema: “I’ve always enjoyed working creatively and did so in various advertising agencies. My enthusiasm, my people management skills and my talent for selling formed the basis for my job as Creative Director. When we decided a few years ago that we wanted to be living in Provence, it was my first idea to work with the many beautiful real estate properties in our region. On the one hand, I thought I’d enjoy the presentation of these properties and, on the other hand, I’d be good in giving creative advice to our clients when it comes to redesigning rooms and opening their eyes on the hidden opportunities many properties may conceal. I can say now: I am absolutely passionate about our job. Meet us and you’ll sense it!”
