From July to August, lavender blooms in the wind, rich colors decorate the green valley, and the slightly spicy fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of burnt grass, which interweaves into the most unforgettable atmosphere in southern France. In terms of food, Provence's greatest advantage lies in its rich agricultural products. Fresh vegetables and fruits, olive oil, garlic, seafood and spices combine to form a paradise for diners.

Provence has a Mediterranean climate, with dry summers and mild winters, with more than 3 days of sunshine every year. The climate in mountainous areas is characterized by long winters, snowy days, hot summers and thunderstorms. There are obvious differences between valley slopes and various microclimates exist. Summer is usually from July to September, and the temperature is generally above 3 degrees during the day. In winter (December-February), the temperature is usually around 1-15 degrees.

humanistic customs

Provence is located in the south of France. Since its birth, it has carefully kept her secret. Until the arrival of peter mayle, an Englishman, the veil of Provence's unique life style for a long time was gradually lifted. In Mel's works, "Provence" is no longer a simple geographical name, but also represents a simple and carefree lifestyle, a leisurely artistic conception of "being humiliated, watching flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, staying or staying unintentionally, and drifting with the clouds outside the sky". If you travel to get rid of the shackles of life, Provence will make you forget everything.
