Focus: Provence

Our journey across Provence has focused on the western and eastern parts of the region. In the center, you'll find much of the same charm we experienced elsewhere, so we took the liberty of focusing on the absolute highlights.

We are traveling with our caravan. If you don't want to travel with a tent or a small camper, you should check your destination carefully online before booking. There is a vast selection of hotels, but caravanning enthusiasts should be mindful: the choice of campsites for larger units (e.g., 8m x 2.50m) narrows down quickly.

Whether driving through mountain passes, sunbathing on the beach, or exploring weekly markets—Provence and the Côte d'Azur are sun-drenched and seductive. 2,000 years ago, Provence was part of Roman Gaul, and the Romans left behind magnificent monuments, structures, and some of France's oldest vineyards.

Art in Abundance

It wasn't just the landscape of Provence that attracted legendary painters like Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Picasso. It was the light, which Matisse described as "soft and tender, yet brilliant." A journey to this corner of France feels like stepping straight onto an Impressionist's canvas.

Provençal Delights

Food is a central part of French life, but in Provence, it becomes a refined passion. Dominated by the sacred ingredients of Mediterranean cuisine—olive oil, wine, tomatoes, and garlic—every meal here is a highlight.
