Nature

The nature of Provence is an ode to the diversity and beauty of the southern French countryside. From the rolling hills of the Luberon to the imposing cliffs of the Verdon Gorge, the region offers an impressive backdrop that will enchant any nature lover. The vast fields of lavender, which glow bright purple in the summer months, are just as characteristic as the olive groves and vineyards that characterize the landscape.
Hike through the fragrant garrigue, along shady pine forests or explore the crystal-clear rivers and springs that meander through the valleys. Provence is also home to a rich flora and fauna, from colorful butterflies to rare orchid species.
The evening atmosphere is particularly impressive when the setting sun bathes the landscape in warm gold and the cicadas sing their characteristic song. Whether on a walk through olive groves, a bike ride through the hilly landscape or a picnic with a view of the Monts de Vaucluse – the nature of Provence invites you to unwind and feel a deep connection to your surroundings.

  • Les Ecuries de la Plaine – Discover Provence from the back of a horse
  • Fontaine de Vaucluse – Marvel at the source of the Sorgue, one of the 5 largest springs in the world (less impressive in summer. A visit in spring or winter is recommended)

  • Les Gorges du Verdon – this gorge is a beautiful natural spectacle and can also be paddled in a kayak
