Provence

11 posts

Provence is a region of timeless charm, where medieval cities, lavender fields, and vineyard-covered hills create the quintessential French escape. Having spent two months living here, I’ve explored Provence in depth—this category brings together all my insights. Whether you’re planning a 5-day Provence itinerary, looking for the best areas to stay, or searching for the region’s hidden gems, you’ll find curated guides to help craft your trip.

Explore the historic city of Avignon, discover the charm of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, or set out on the best day trips from Avignon. Wine lovers can sip their way through Châteauneuf-du-Pape or enjoy a wine tour from Avignon. Meanwhile, art and history lovers will find inspiration in Arles, a city that captivated Van Gogh.

Provence’s influence extends down to the Riviera, making it the perfect jumping-off point for exploring the French Riviera. Whether you dream of rolling vineyards, picturesque villages, or Provencal cuisine, start your journey here.

In a Provence itinerary for 5 days, outdoor tables adorned with checkered tablecloths and black chairs are nestled under the shade of two large trees. Two white buildings with windows and white wooden shutters complete the picturesque scene.
