One of the most beautiful hilltop villages of the Luberon, its stone houses cascading down the hillside. Nearby, the Sénanque abbey and its lavender.

Arles

Roman city and Van Gogh's muse, at the gateway to the Camargue. Its arena, its antique theatre and the light that inspired the painter.

Les Baux-de-Provence

Les Baux

A village clinging to the rock of the Alpilles, and the spectacular Carrières des Lumières digital art show set in former quarries.

Lavender fields
The icon

The lavender fields

From mid-June to mid-July, the Valensole plateau and the rows around the Sénanque abbey turn deep purple. We time your stay for the bloom and arrange a private distillery visit, a picnic among the rows and the photo stops at first light, before the crowds.

Art de vivre

Provence, the art of slow living

Provence is not a place one rushes through. It is a way of life shaped by the sun, long lunches under the plane trees, morning markets bursting with colour, the song of the cicadas and the scent of lavender and thyme.

From the Roman past of Arles to the hilltop villages of the Luberon and the great wine estates, it offers a rare blend of heritage, nature and gastronomy, savoured slowly, the southern way.

When to go

Each season, a different Provence

  • Spring · April–JuneNature awakens, markets in full swing and the first sunny terraces, before the crowds.
