Provence, France

Provence, the south eastern region of France, has always held a special fascination for travellers from all over the world. Its azure skies, brilliant sunlight, and windswept landscapes have inspired artists like Cézanne and Van Gogh. Medieval villages perch on hilltops between rolling vineyards, fragrant lavender fields, and craggy mountains.

It is the most irresistible region in France.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fontaine de Vaucluse

 

Fontaine de Vaucluse is a small village on the edge of the Luberon region of Provence, about 35k east of Avignon. It is one of the most visited places in the Vaucluse. It is home to the spring which flows out of the 230 m high cliff, the emerald green calm waters, and and the beautiful Sorgue river.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roussillon, Provence, France

 

The ochre village in the heart of the Luberon

Roussillon is classed among the most beautiful in France. Under the azure blue Provencial sky the earth blazes with astonishing palette of flaming colours. The village has seduced many artists. The narrow streets and stairways house art galleries, craftspeople and very good restaurants.

Roussillon is one of the "must-sees" in France.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gordes

 

Gordes is officially one of The Most Beautiful Villages in France and gives stunning view as you approach it. It has narrow cobbled streets which thread their way through tall houses; built against the rock, clinging onto its flanks and whispering the tales of a thousand legends. Just outside Gordes are the incredibly picturesque Senanque Abbey with its famed lavender field, and the mysterious Village des Bories.

The stone buildings built in tight against the base of the cliffs and those perched on the rocks above, including the 12th-century castle, are made of an beige stone that glows orange in the morning sun.
