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.

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.
