Provence

Olive trees, blue sky, rosé….what else?

Come and visit the Luberon National Park with its charming top-of-the-hill villages, dear to Peter Mayle’s famous books. Red, orange, yellow and lavender blue, the Ochers massif offers a thousand colors under the sun. Have a stroll in these ‘Most Beautiful French villages’, visit the former ochers mines or a lavender distillery.
Compostela or Rome paths cross the Luberon ; hence, historical sites lovers will be delighted with among others Gallo-Roman towns (Apt..), medieval villages or mystical abbeys.
In the middle of these golden ochers, the lavender fields will extend to the horizon. They bloom from mid June till mid August depending on the climate.
Authentic, fairy, you can spend exceptional hikes all around the Luberon. We advise you to spend at least 2 nights / 3 days to get a real taste of The Luberon.

Little quaint villages, small cities:get in the typical ‘Provencal’ way of life. Wander around the narrow little streets, discovering squares where fountains play. Enjoy as well attractive boutiques, art dealers or ‘brocanteurs’!
Perched on a limestone outcrop, some of these villages offer an exceptional panorama over the vineyards and olive trees plains.
The Alpilles mountain range hides a wealth of treasures: cultivated and wild landscapes, forests and scrubland, historic heritage sites, archaeological showpieces, such as the ancient city of Glanum and the Antiques in Saint Rémy, the medieval Citadel of Les Baux de Provence, the Barbegal Roman Aqueduct and Flourmill in Fontvieille, the roman Arenas in Nîmes and Arles, le” Pont du Gard”, the Popes’ Palace in Avignon…
This area also enjoys the benefits of a unique “terroir”, a special combination of soil and climate that gives its wines, a well-defined local character and its olive oils an intense, fruity flavour.

We advise you to spend at least 3 nights / 4 days to feel the Alpilles special atmosphere.
