Provence

Tulips in Provence are the springtime equivalent of lavender. You don't have to go to the Netherlands to admire tulip fields – it is enough to visit the vicinity of the town of Lurs.

The "Three Sisters of Provence" is the colloquial name for the three historic Cistercian abbeys in Provence. These are the abbeys Senanque, Silvacane, and Thoronet. They can all be visited.

Carrières de Lumières is a wonderful multimedia show hosted in a former quarry – a must see when visiting the Provencal town of Les Baux-de-Provence!

Baux-de-Provence is definitely one of the nicest Provencal towns I have visited. Everything is unique here: the location, the views, and the attractions.

Arles is a Provencal city that was also known as Little Rome. Centuries ago it played an important role as one of Julius Caesar’s colonies, but today it is a great open-air museum confirming the power of the Roman Empire. It is also the city where Vincent van Gogh created his most important paintings – and lost an ear.
