WHEN SHOULD YOU GO TO PROVENCE ?

The loveliest seasons are spring and autumn.

Spring flowers, trees and vegetations provide bright wonderful colors: white, pink, green blue! A true masterpiece.
Almond and cherry trees are blooming, lilies springing up.

In autumn, Provence is covered in a red and gold dress, giving it a warm and friendly atmosphere. The vines are dormant for the winter, while the green oaks retain their color and their vigor.

Summer is streaks of blue lavender, green forests of subtle tones, flamboyant cliffs of ochre, stark white limestone hills.
