Life is good in Provence. The mild climate, gastronomy, and sea air go hand in hand! It's no coincidence that Provence is synonymous with holidays... Just imagine Les Baux-de-Provence—one of the most beautiful villages in France—the impressive Pont du Gard, the Palais des Papes in Avignon, and the many ruins of Vaison-la-Romaine. Provence is sunshine, light, and colors beloved by Van Gogh and Cézanne, the accent of Pagnol, the scents of lavender and rosemary, bouillabaisse and aioli, rosé and red wines, and evenings that stretch on to prolong the pleasure!
But beware... the Giant of Provence is never far away, and during your stay you can take on the legendary Mont Ventoux, the mythical summit of the Tour de France, which presents itself as a final challenge to crown your trip... unless a day off at its foot seems like a better idea!
