Our trip to Provence is truly impressive! It is fantastic sun-kissed part of France with endless lavender fields, sleepy little villages, red and yellow ochre cliffs, ancient castles, vineyards, gorges of rare beauty and mountains. The true spirit of the country is always preserved better far away from the big cities – in provinces. Provence is good example of that. You will see the life of the French people and the amazing blooming nature of France.
