From aromatic lavender fields to verdant vineyards, and the Southern Alps, Provence has a diverse landscape that mirrors its activity. Meander through the Provencal gardens under the shade of a sunhat, explore one of the many monasteries, or poke around the bookshops of Aix-en Provence for an air of mystery.
