Provence is the land of lavender, stone villages and open-air markets. Between Avignon, Arles and the Luberon you find Roman monuments, vineyards and landscapes that inspired great painters.
Not to be missed
- The lavender fields of Valensole and Sénanque Abbey
- The Luberon villages: Gordes, Roussillon and Lourmarin
- Avignon and the Palace of the Popes
- The Pont du Gard and the Roman monuments of Arles
- The Calanques of Marseille, by boat or on foot
Practical tips
- To tour the villages choose a trip with a driver: they are far apart.
- Morning markets are the heart of local life: go early.
- In summer access to some Calanques may be limited: check first.
When to go
Lavender blooms from late June to late July; spring and autumn are ideal for visiting.
