Provence

Provence
• enchanting scenery of lavender fields and sleepy villages
• hotels of character offering excellent Provençal cuisine
• walking, cycling, short breaks and self-catering properties

Famed for its cicadas and cork oaks, for lavender fields and villages of red-roofed houses, it would seem that Provence was made for leisurely exploration. Its special beauty has been recognised for centuries – indeed, the Romans loved it so much they called it Provincia (‘The Province’). For many, the allure extends beyond the landscapes to the cuisine featuring local olive oil, fresh rosemary, plump red tomatoes and creamy goat’s cheese. Accompanied by one of the region’s light wines, a dinner of such delicious specialities rounds off a day of walking, cycling or exploring perfectly.
