Our favourite places to visit near our Provence home

Our Provence home is astutely located just inland of the French Riviera, with all amenities close by and the prettiest village of the region only 5 minutes away. We fell in love with this Provence home, not because of its large private yet easily accessible location but because there is so much to do in the region. Every time we visit Provence, we discover new places to fall in love with and can not wait to visit it again.

To get you going on explorer mode, here are some of our favourite places close by to our home. Let us know what you think?
