France - Provence
Provence
Provence conjures up images of cicadas and cork oaks, fields of lavender and dishes featuring local olive oil, fresh rosemary, plump red tomatoes and creamy goat's cheese. The scented Luberon and Lure hills enchant the visitor with timeless, evocative countryside dotted with picturesque hill-top villages clustered around ancient stone fountains and crumbling chapels. Here, the Mediterranean climate brings warm days from early spring to late autumn, and the famous light which has inspired countless artists lends colour and definition to these magical landscapes.
