This landscape inspired great painters, and is a joy to travel through, especially in spring and fall when the climate is perfect.
You will enjoy the cities and towns of Provence, but the real magic lies in its countryside. Here you will find images that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne; scarlet poppies in golden fields, the blue dancing shade of olive trees, and abandoned stone walls enclosing sparse rocky pastures. Explore the hills carpeted with flowers in spring, purple rows of lavender over stony fields, pink-tiled roofs and trellised vines against the receding blue hills.
Travelling on foot is the only way to discover the this magnificent countryside. Travel through Provence and see the bizarre ochre cliffs of Rousillon, with the crags and gorges of Luberon in the background. Walk through hilltop villages, descending into the farm and wine country below. Discover Roman ruins, chateaux, abbeys and castles. Taste the wine and sample the wonderful cuisine of the Provencal region.
If you are short on time and want to take in the best of this region, then this trip is for you!
