PROVENCE
Beautiful Provence is one of the most idyllic regions in the whole of France, making it ideal for a memorable French tour. There are plenty of reasons to love Provence. For starters, their famous lavender fields that fill the air with fragrance which attracts thousands of tourists each year. Why not enjoy Provence’ offerings of charming hilltop villages such as Luberon and Moustiers Sainte Marie? These villages are known for being two of the most beautiful villages in the whole of France. From delightful churches to quaint restaurants, these villages of Provence can make any French tour come to life.
If you care to take a dip in the sea, head to Cassis which is named the ‘little Saint Tropez’ to soak up the sun against a backdrop of small fishing boats and colored houses with bustling markets nearby. Sip on the local Cassis wine in a cafe nearby and enjoy watching the world go by.
If hiking spots and gorgeous views are your cup of tea, head to two of the most stunning landscapes Provence has to offer - The Calanques and The Gorges Du Verdon. If you aren’t familiar with either, The Calanques are a beautiful break of limestone cliffs in the sea between Marseille and Cassis (pictured above). Gorges Du Verdon is a sensational river canyon in southeastern France. The river has brilliant turquoise waters encompassed in pure white cliffs (pictured below), perfect to add onto any French tour.
