      A few suggestions...

 

        Ventabren, our medieval village: the unavoidable visit of the old village, a jogging in the light of the early morning...

      ... an attractive stroll through the typically Mediterranean vegetation (thyme, rosemary, cistus, kermès oak),...

 

 

 

 

 

 The seaside: Cassis and the visit of the Calanques (creeks) by foot or by boat, the 'Côte bleue' and its wide sandy beaches, Marseille and its isles, the beautiful coast to Saint-Tropez...

 

 

Cities of art and culture, small towns with Provençal atmosphere where you can stroll and suspend time...
Aix-en-Provence, its wealthy residential districts with colored fronts, its forty ancient fountains,
its flowered squares, its shady streets, real open architecture museum...
Arles, rich in museums and Roman ruins (arena, theater, necropolis, ...)
St. Remy de Provence with its old streets, private mansions, art galleries, 

its Roman remains and the memories of Van Gogh...
L'Isle-Sur-La-Sorguefamous for its many antique stores (nearly 300) and art galleries,
open mainly at weekends, and for the charm of its canals ...
Avignon, surrounded by ramparts and famous for its majestic 'Palais des Papes' and the 'Pont d'Avignon'.
Interesting museums.

 

 

The old villages with stony houses, often perched in the fabulous landscapes of Alpilles and Luberon and Alpes de Hautes Provence: les Baux de Provence, Eygalières, Gordes, Roussillon, Lourmarin, Cucurron, Banon, Forcalquier, Mousiters Sainte-Marie......

 

 

 

Other atmosphere: the Camargue, and its vast natural landscapes to discover by foot, biking or by horse,

without forgetting Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and its huge beaches...


At the soil side, the pleasure to taste and to select wine and olive oil directly at the producer,

but also the soaps, the linen and furnishing fabric  and the potteries on markets...
 

 

The road of lavenders among the luminous landscapes of the Alps of Haute Provence
(flowering from mid-June to mid July).
