About Provence
Provence is best experienced slowly, moving between hilltop villages like Gordes and Roussillon, working vineyards producing crisp rosé, and — for a few weeks each summer — endless purple lavender fields that peak around late June and early July on the Valensole Plateau. Avignon, with its fortified papal palace, makes a convenient base for exploring the wider region by car.
