Luxury Travel to Provence made for you

Provence offers rich and diverse landscapes. Endless lavender fields lead to bountiful vineyards, rocky hilltop villages to a dazzling coastline. Thanks to its elegant port towns and peaceful countryside, Provence is the destination in France that very much epitomises the Mediterranean dream.

The region enjoys a delightful Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers, mild winters, and an infamous wind called Le Mistral which particularly affects the Var and Bouches-du-Rhône departments during winter and spring. This southeastern province of France stretches from the Italian border on the east, to the Rhône River in the west. Marseille is the capital of Provence, the Cote D’Azur is situated to the east hugging the Italian border, and Avignon sits inland.

Avignon, the historical capital of the Vaucluse region, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its medieval architecture and Roman ruins. The Palais des Papes, dominating the Avignon cityscape, is today one of the most important medieval gothic sites in Europe. The abandoned Pont d’Avignon, dating back to the 12th century, is equally as interesting. Today, Avignon annually hosts many significant art and theatre festivals.

Outside of Avignon, the Roman Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge which is also listed by UNESCO, is an impressive sight and well worth a visit.
