Life is truly wonderful in Provence. The mild climate, fine cuisine, and sea air go hand in hand! It’s no wonder Provence is synonymous with vacation… 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 the colors so dear to Van Gogh and Cézanne; it’s Pagnol’s accent, the scents of lavender and rosemary, bouillabaisse and aioli, rosé and red wines, and evenings that stretch on to make the pleasure last!
But be warned… the Giant of Provence is never far away, and during your stay you’ll have the chance to tackle the legendary Mont Ventoux, the iconic peak of the Tour de France that serves as a final challenge to cap off your trip… unless a free day at its foot sounds like a better idea!
