Flora
surrounding countryside
If you prefer total peace and quietness and few people around...then you must visit Provence to experience the joys of spring. Why not have that well deserved spring break?
Because of the relatively mild climate blossom appears early; mimosa blossom from the end of January; from early March the pink blossom of the almond trees can be seen in the gardens and from the end of April to June the wonderful magnolia.The weather can be very varied at this time of the year with cold nights and bright sunny days and some welcome rain.
Our house has full electric heating and a very welcoming lounge for you to gather around after your long day enjoying your chosen activity. It could be that you and your friends or family like walking. In spring many fossils are washed out of the rocks on the hillsides, the air is wonderful and you feel alive. The Hinterland is an interesting and rewarding area for walkers but the Provençal coast is becoming more and more popular and is only 1 hour away from the house by car.
Visit charming local sights
Why not visit Marseille or Aix-en-Provence with its charming squares and fountains and lovely Baroque mansions. Paul Cezanne had his studio in the old town. You could visit Arles, a great Roman city and a favourite of Vincent Van Gogh. See its Roman amphitheatre and theatre along with the magnificent Romanesque Cathedral of St. Trophime. There is a Folk Arts Museam a fabric factory and even an olive mill to see how olive oil is produced.
