Pale pink almond blossom against a blue blue sky - the true sign that Spring has arrived in Provence. What a pretty sight on a bright sunny March morning.
Where better to be on a sunny Saturday in February. The beautiful Cours Mirabeau in Aix sparkled in the sunshine and the crowds were out in the cafes just soaking up the spring warmth. Delightful.
Provence is looking its very best with clear blue skies and the heat of the sun at mid day giving a hint of the Spring warmth to come.
For 2012 we’ve put together some new and interesting ideas which we hope will tempt you to visit this lovely part of France. In addition to our ever popular self drive Lavender Holidays, we've made some itinerary changes, and reduced prices on our Discover Provence Self Drive Holiday and our Tour & Walk in the Luberon Holiday. And all our self drive holidays have some interesting add-on extensions if you have more time. Our brand new Alpilles & Camargue holiday is still in the planning stage so check out the website for developments on this one.
Real Provence is a small independent tour operator specialising in holidays in three beautiful and distinctively different areas of Provence which together make up the area we call 'real Provence' - the Parc Naturel du Luberon, the Alpilles area around St. Rémy and the Cotes du Rhone area of the Dentelles.
This blog is about our work, lives in the Luberon and the holidays our clients have with us. We also let holiday houses which are sometimes featured here as well.
