Springtime in Provence is heavenly… and it is quite possibly my favourite season. Although I do say that about every season… My friend Kit of the lovely blog Chic Provence is arranging another tour to Provence this spring… it sounds wonderful and the itinerary reads like the perfect way to spend time in Provence…
Friday… arrive from Paris and settle into a gorgeous villa in the Provencal countryside…
Saturday… the market in Apt and a tour of one of the oldest villages in the Luberon.. Oppede Le Vieux…
Sunday… L’Isle sur la Sorgue… one of the best flea markets in Provence… (and where I always find something fabulous to tempt me)…
Monday… Gordes and Roussillon… picturesque hilltop villages made famous by Peter Mayle in his very entertaining books…
Tuesday… Avignon and history ( great shopping too)…
Wednesday… St Remy de Provence market… my village… so look out for me..
Thursday… Mt Ventoux on bikes (electric which helps…) Another breathtaking area of Provence…
Friday… Back on the train and home… or a stay over in Paris… That could be an idea…
Kit this sounds so much fun, can I come?
Reading about Provence is something I spend a lot of time on… so… if you are in the mood I recommend this for facts, this for sentiment and this because it’s pretty and one of my favourites… And if you are not too tired of what I have to say about Provence there is always this and this…
