Things to do in Provence
With so many things to do in Provence, you won't get bored. This quintessentially French province is full of beautiful locations to visit and plenty of cultural sites for history lovers. Paris might be the city of love, but Provence will make you forget about it.
Pope's Palace
Located in Avignon, Pope's Palace is a UNESCO-listed building with a rich and exciting history. It was built in the 14th century as a residence for popes, and the architecture was simply stunning.
Going on a tour gives you access to the interior, which features lavish decorations and plenty of traditional rooms.

Art lovers travel worldwide to see this incredible attraction at Les Baux-de-Provence. Set in an old limestone quarry, the Carrières de Lumières features a range of HD image projections, creating an audio-visual experience for visitors.
The stones and ground come to life with imagery, and the theme changes each year, so prepared to be amazed by the beautiful images.
Aix-en-Provence
Stroll along the leafy boulevards and delightful old quarter of Cézanne's hometown of Aix-en-Provence, admiring the many art museums, artisan food shops and colourful boutiques.
The city is known by many as the city of fountains due to its extensive collection of water features and artistic design. While it's a university town, you'll love the beauty of the cobbled streets.
Step back in time and experience Roman life
Culture and history buffs will love journeying back to Roman and medieval Provence at the UNESCO-listed Pont du Gard, a towering Roman aqueduct, and strolling around Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, built on one of the oldest archaeological sites in Europe.
Vincent Van Gogh produced many paintings of the beautiful surrounding countryside here, and you can walk in his footsteps at the Monastère St. Paul-de-Mausole.
You'll come across many hilltop villages in Provence, but Gordes in the Lubéron region is one of the most beautiful, crowned by a magnificent Roman fortress and home to Abbaye de Senanque – a must-see on any itinerary in Provence.
Beaches in Provence
Although Provence is perhaps best known for its fragrant lavender-filled landscapes, ancient abbeys, and medieval towns, there are several picturesque beaches located throughout the region.
Whether you're searching for soft, golden sands with an array of watersports or a stretch of coves with crystal-clear waters, the beaches in Provence range from family-friendly and bustling to wild and secluded.
Our luxury villas in Provence provide easy access to some of the best beaches, or you can enjoy a lazy afternoon by your villa's private pool!
Nightlife in Provence
This region of France may not be the first place that springs to mind for after-dark entertainment, but there is still plenty going on, and each area has a unique feel.
The alfresco terraces of the lounges and bars come alive with a warm and friendly atmosphere, where revellers remain until late, thanks to the balmy climate.
After a drink and a dancefloor? The town of Aix-en-Provence offers a wide range of nightlife venues thanks to the high student population.
Alternatively, create your own evening entertainment in the comfort of your villa with card games around the pool, aperitifs at sunset and large family barbecues.
Food and Drink in Provence
The cuisine will play a big part in your villa holiday in Provence, whether you're wining and dining at a local brasserie, or attending one of the unique food festivals happening year-round.
Or, why not peruse a local market piled high with sun-soaked fruit and vegetables and flavourful cuisine?
At local restaurants, fresh ingredients transform into specialities such as bouillabaisse and ratatouille stews. You'll also find sweet patisseries, boulangeries and cheese shops in most towns and villages.
Don't pack too much in your suitcase – the natural larder of Provence, including truffles, olives, lavender honey and the region's beloved pale rosé, is too good not to take home!
History and Culture in Provence
For a dose of culture, head to the world-class Granet Museum, walk in Cézanne's footsteps on the marked pedestrian route and stop on Cours Mirabeau, once a street for horse-drawn carriages, now a bustling boulevard with busy pavement cafes shaded by leafy plane trees.
Let's not forget that Provence is also home to many famous vineyards, and most are open to visitors. You can taste wines, buy traditional French bottles and relax in the rolling countryside surrounding the vineyards.
Shopping in Provence
Provence also has an array of shops for all budgets. You can take a trip to the expansive Provence Designer Outlet and find great deals on designer clothing. Or, look at the local businesses and buy handmade soaps, lotions and candles.
Provence is also an excellent place for antique hunters, with L'Isle Sur la Sorgue being one of the top places to find historical items. However, don't forget to look at the smaller village shops villages, because you can find some treasures there too.
