Lavender fields and hilltop towns
A sun-warmed region of lavender rows, vineyards and perched villages.
Provence unfolds in fields of lavender, olive groves and honey-stoned villages set among the hills. Markets, rose wines and Roman remains give the region its unhurried, deeply rooted character.
Drive the Valensole plateau when the rows bloom in high summer.
Browse the produce and antiques of the Luberon's hill towns.
Taste the region's pale rose wines at a private estate lunch.
