About Provence
Provence has long been the heart of French romance and refinement — a place where ancient Roman ruins, medieval villages, and world-renowned vineyards meet under golden Mediterranean light. Its landscapes, immortalized by Van Gogh and Cézanne, capture rolling lavender fields, olive groves, and sun-drenched hillsides.
The region is celebrated for its gastronomy: from Michelin-starred dining in Avignon and Gordes to rustic Provençal markets brimming with olives, cheeses, herbs, and freshly baked breads. Culinary enthusiasts can enjoy truffle hunting excursions, olive oil tastings, and private wine tours in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Culture thrives here — from Roman amphitheaters in Arles and Orange to Gothic architecture in Avignon’s Papal Palace. Provence also hosts some of France’s most celebrated festivals, including classical music concerts in Aix-en-Provence and vibrant summer lavender festivals.
For those seeking relaxation, luxury boutique hotels, converted châteaux, and countryside villas offer private pools, vineyard views, and spa retreats. Exclusive experiences — such as hot-air balloon rides over lavender fields or private yacht charters along the Côte d’Azur — make Provence a pinnacle of elevated escapes.
Families will find Provence accessible and enriching: local markets become outdoor classrooms, Roman ruins spark imaginations, and outdoor adventures like kayaking the Gorges du Verdon or cycling through vineyards provide memorable moments for every generation.
Whether you come for art, history, food, or simply to bask in the Provençal light, this region offers a rare combination of authenticity and luxury that ensures every journey becomes timeless.
