Provence – A Fresh Take on a French Classic

Why Provence?

There is so much more to Provence than Saint-Tropez and the French Riviera. Venture inland to discover the hilltop villages of the Luberon, the olive groves and vineyards of the Alpilles, intimate countryside hideaways and some of France’s most beautiful local markets. Along the coast, hidden coves and little offshore islands like the Île de Bendor, just a short boat ride from Bandol, add another dimension to the region. What makes Provence so special is its remarkable diversity within easy reach. With excellent connections via Nice and Marseille, including nonstop flights from New York to Nice, the region is surprisingly accessible for international travellers. And while summer belongs to the coast, spring and autumn might just be the most beautiful seasons to explore.

Why is Provence perfect for families?

One base, endless possibilities. Provence is made for families who love exploring without constantly moving from place to place. A private villa with a pool in the Alpilles or Luberon makes the perfect home away from home, with charming villages, local markets, lakes and beaches all within reach. Think cycling through the countryside, horse riding, kayaking along the Sorgue or simply enjoying long lunches together. It's an especially lovely destination for multi-generational holidays, where everyone can find their own rhythm. And with its mild climate, Provence is just as appealing during spring and autumn school breaks.
