Provence | Vaud

Provence has the potential to be a victim of its own popularity, but it’s hard to fault the crowds; when you watch the almost other-worldly vista of purple fields of lavender bending under a late spring breeze, you’ll understand why. If you crave the rustic beauty the area is justifiably famous for, head to regions like Luberon and Alpilles and hilltop villages like Bonnieux, where a timeless sense of place remains largely intact.
