If someone says that Provence is completely romantic, it's probably not too much, because apart from the eternal love legend, there are Cannes, which is famous for the film festival, Marseille, which is famous for the Marseillaise, and the mysterious island of Yves, which is well known for The Count of Monte Cristo, as well as the elegant university towns of Aix and avignon, the medieval villages with long memories, and the comfortable small cafes on the street ... Modern civilization and ancient civilization complement each other. Every year, millions of people flock here to see the beautiful scenery that is hard to describe in the album and the incredible leisurely and gorgeous life in novels and essays.
It's hard to say whether the romantic love in Provence is more attractive or the scenery here is more attractive. The sky here is blue and transparent in Ming Che, the air is refreshing like fresh iced lemonade, and if there is a clear spring flowing through the bottom of my heart, it makes people want to sing. Lavender everywhere makes people ecstatic. On bicycles and buffaloes, girls' skirts are full of dark purple and light blue bouquets, and the whole valley is filled with ripe thick grass fragrance. A row of scattered lavender and tall sunflowers in the field line up in a neat line and stretch into the distance. There is an apple tree leaning on the edge of the field, and a few small brick houses with yellow walls and blue wood not far away ... < P > If someone comes to Provence to pursue the footsteps of knights, it must be to see lavender, which is a fascinating blue-purple flower in the TV series Lavender, the symbol of Provence. In July and August, lavender blooms in the wind, and the rich colors decorate the green valley. The slightly spicy fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of burnt grass, which interweaves into the most unforgettable atmosphere in southern France. This colorful flower blooms in Lubo Longshan District and Shi Mijana Mountain Area. Sunlight on lavender bouquet is a kind of blue-purple golden luster. When summer comes, the whole Provence seems to be wearing a purple coat, and the fragrant lavender is swaying in the wind ... < P > Provence's nature is generous, and perhaps the great perfume technician didn't get much inspiration from it, but for artists, it is indeed a source of inspiration. Matisse, Renoir, Picasso, bernal, Xia Jiaer ... all lingered here.
it's hard for you to find a place that blends ancient and modern fashions like Provence. Passing through the ancient cities and villages in Provence, anyone who comes here must learn to let go of the usual hurried pace of the city and slowly taste the leaves swaying in the sun, the birds that are not surprising on the stone walls and the lavender fragrance that fills the air.
When people enjoy peace again, or bathe in warm sunshine, or look up at the starry night sky, they will sincerely feel that life can't be better than this moment ...
The boundaries of Provence have changed greatly in history. During the Great Revolution in the late 18th century, France was divided into five different administrative provinces, of which Provence was one. In the 196s, the administrative provinces were regrouped and divided into 22 regions, so there was the Provence-Alpes region. Before and after the gentle university city of Aix and the papal city of Avignon, there are also small medieval villages and ancient mountain towns that have escaped the changes of the century.
The whole Provence region has an unusual charm because of its great variety-the weather is uncertain, the warm wind is warm and the cold wind is wild; The terrain is ups and downs, the plains are vast, and the peaks and mountains are steep; Lonely canyons, desolate castles, winding mountains and lively cities ... all show ten thousand kinds of customs in this land of South France.

There are many activities in this area, which are even more dazzling, from the Monton Lemon Festival in February to the Avignon Art Festival in July and August. From the Opera Festival of Ou Hongji to the Lavender Festival in Provence in August, the four seasons echo the unrestrained years in the mountain city. This color of freedom bewitched the inspiration of artists' creation, including Cezanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and Xia Kaer, who all started a new stage of artistic life in Provence. The hedonistic atmosphere of the Cote d 'Azur also attracted American writer Fitzgerald, British writer D.H. Lawrence, French writer Huxley, Nietzsche and others to make pilgrimages, and of course, included Years in the Mountain, which pushed Provence to the peak of peter mayle. The romantic colors of Provence and endless art also attract us to hear about it.
The most delightful thing about Provence is that its air is always filled with the fragrance of lavender, thyme, pine and so on. This unique natural fragrance is not easily experienced in other places. Among them, lavender is the most unique and loved. Because the abundant sunshine is most suitable for the growth of lavender, coupled with the local residents' love for lavender fragrance and curative effect, in Provence, not only can you see the charming picture of lavender purple flowers billowing everywhere, but also various lavender sachets and sachets are commonly hung at home. Shops are also filled with various products made of lavender, such as lavender essential oil, perfume, soap, candles, etc., and packaged lavender herb tea is sold in pharmacies and markets. People can't help but want to know more about the charming aroma of Provence-all kinds of lavender.
In Provence, lavender fields have different landscapes all year round. In winter, after the harvest is cut, only short and neat dead stems are left, covered with snow. When spring comes, green leaves come out. June is purple, and gradually, as the summer sun gets hotter, lavender flowers quickly turn into charming deep purple. Then the busy harvest began, and it was very important to grasp the time. Therefore, flower farmers had to cut flowers day and night and distill the extract. By the end of September, all the flower fields had been harvested. Lavender fields can catch their breath, absorb the essence of nature, and prepare for the purple flowers to bloom again next summer.

roaming the world of lavender
Lavender-lavender, a purple flower with the flower language of "waiting for love", has fascinated many people. Mr. Pascal of Self Voyages Provence took us across mountains and fields in his Toyota, over white limestone, which looks like the snowy Mont Ventoux even in summer, through a large golden sunflower garden, and finally stopped in a piece of transpiration land in Zi Xia.
Lavender Sault, the lavender capital, is so beautiful. It is the first time I have seen such a lush lavender field, such pure purple blooming in the high and low fields, and opening romantic symbols in the summer wind, like the quietest yearning and the sweetest melancholy, as if hiding in the heart of a loved one but never being able to hold your hand.
