Good to know
Airport
There are currently no direct flights to Provence from the US. Marseille Provence Airport is the closest—or Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, followed by a 2h40m train ride.
Dining
In many restaurants, groups of 8 or more require a fixed menu.
Lavender Season
Lavender blooms in Provence from June through August, however the best time to see it is between late June and early July. It’s important to note that these are particularly hot months and a popular time for tourism in Provence.
Weather
During the summer months, the Mistral wind can blow—closing some walking trails and force alternative walks.
