Provence is the epitome of the romantic charm of little French villages and remains one of the best places to experience the art of living in southern France. Located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, it offers a remarkable blend of culture, gastronomy and history. From Aix-en-Provence to Uzès, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence or the villages of the Luberon, each town opens your eyes to a different facet of Provence. Between weekly markets, refined boutiques, art galleries and high-end restaurants, Provence is a great spot for slow travel, punctuated by scenic day trips through rural landscapes. Staying in one of our luxury villas allows you to enjoy these best places while benefiting from our local concierge services to uncover the flavours, people and traditions of the region.
The Luberon is a peaceful haven in the heart of Provence and one of the best places to explore authentic rural life. This regional natural park reveals rolling hills, vineyards and vast lavender fields, especially in full bloom during early summer. Villages such as Lourmarin offer shaded squares, stone houses and lively stalls at local markets. Walking trails like the Ochre Trail near Roussillon provide stunning views over ochre cliffs, while avoiding the midday heat is easy thanks to the calm rhythm of the countryside. Known for its gastronomy, the Luberon is home to renowned chefs and vineyards.
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a historic town set between vineyards and olive groves, close to the Alpilles. Roman heritage is omnipresent, from ancient remains to the nearby ancient Roman aqueduct. The town is closely linked to Vincent Van Gogh, whose footsteps can still be followed through its streets and landscapes. Museums, small art galleries and cultural events enrich the experience, while the surrounding countryside invites scenic walks. From here, excursions towards Mont Ventoux or the Verdon Gorge reveal dramatic landscapes and panoramic roads.
Uzès stands out for its medieval elegance and is often described as the ‘French Tuscany’. This former dukedom is a feast for the eye, with stone arcades, fountains and lively weekly markets filling the Place aux Herbes. Gastronomy is deeply rooted here, from truffle celebrations to olive festivals, and the surrounding vineyards invite tastings. Just outside town lies the iconic Pont du Gard, ine of the most extraordinary Roman bridge in the world, listed as a UNESCO site and enhanced in the evening by immersive sound shows.
Aix-en-Provence is one of the true crown jewels of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. Elegant avenues like the Cours Mirabeau are lined with cafés, fountains and boutiques, ideal for a stroll followed by an ice cream in the shade. The Mazarin district reveals refined architecture and cultural institutions, while nearby countryside routes lead towards vineyards and hills. Aix also serves as a convenient base for day trips across Provence.
