Grand Tour Provence

Tim Labenda and Hannes-Vincent Krause Unveil “Grand Tour Provence”, a Definitive Guide to the Art of Living in the South of France

As the world re-emerges with a renewed appreciation for meaningful experiences, teNeues Publishing is proud to announce the forthcoming release of Grand Tour Provence: The Renaissance of Refined Travel. Authored by esteemed travel influencers Tim Labenda and Hannes-Vincent Krause, this illustrated book is more than a guide; it is a profound and visually stunning exploration of Provence that speaks directly to a global desire for authentic connection, cultural immersion, and mindful living. This lavish volume serves as the ultimate insider's guide to one of the world's most cherished regions, inviting readers on a curated journey through the sun-drenched landscapes and timeless glamour of the Côte d’Azur and Provence.

The Grand Tour series is perfectly positioned as the definitive reading material for the trending "Euro Summer" traveler, offering a visual and narrative for a meaningful, luxurious, and authentic journey popular among Americans and British. This trend is characterized by a shift from crowded, generic tourist hotspots towards more authentic, high-quality, and immersive experiences. Travelers are booking longer trips in fewer locations, which supports local economies and allows for a deeper connection with the culture and community. This book champions "slow travel," a growing trend where travelers seek deep, personal connections with a place. Labenda and Krause's intimate journey through Provence provides journalists and readers with a perfect case study on this phenomenon, showcasing how luxury is being redefined from opulence to authentic, exclusive experiences.

Labenda and Krause have created a tactile, visual feast—a work of art in itself. The breathtaking photography and emotional narratives highlight the enduring importance of cultural heritage, from the sun-drenched landscapes that inspired Van Gogh to the hidden villages that preserve ancient traditions. It's a testament to the power of art to transport and heal.
