Oh la la, Provence (smile and sigh), the French countryside cannot get any more romantic or beautiful. The velvet-covered hillsides of lavender, olive groves, yellow sunflowers as far as the eye can see, hilltop villages perched above vineyards, cobblestone lanes, outdoor cafés, bustling markets, the lull of chirping cicadas, local art galleries….Provence is a timeless world of its own. The lifestyle, the people and the landscape are in a peaceful tranquility where the simple things in life are a treasured as a luxury: family, friends, taking the time, enjoying fine cuisine, and of course a good glass of wine!
Spring / Fall:
Provence lives and breathes in tune with the seasons, each one totally different from the next.
Spring is full of life, color, and excitement as the world re-awakens. Days are long, warm and relaxed. The local markets are overflowing with cherries, apricots, peaches, strawberries, melon, raspberries, salads, tomatoes… Village terraces are full of locals and visitors alike soaking in the sunshine and watching the world walk by.
Fall has warm days and cooler evenings. Leaves on the vines are changing color, farmers are harvesting their fields, cyclists pedaling up local ‘colines’…
The venues we suggest range from boutique hotels, luxury-chic farmhouses, bastides, and vineyard domains. The soft limestone rock, shuttered windows typical to the region, beautiful textured fabrics, and a sense of space are prevalent to all of the venues we work with…
Practicalities:
Most venues in Provence are 1-2.5 hours away from either Nice or Marseille airports.
Renting a car is the best way to explore the local countryside, yet taxis are readily available if preferred.
Wedding budgets in Provence tend to range from 35,000- 100,000 euros. Smaller more intimate weddings are also possible!
