Because there is the famous Golden Dove and was part of favorite holiday resorts of Picasso, Matisse or Chagall, Saint-Paul-deVence is a real architectural nugget.

Gassin

Perched at 200 meters above sea level on a rock in the Var, Gassin offers panoramic views of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Medieval village with stainless charms, there are all the southern classics: the place to play pétanque, cafes where to sip pastis and the shops that celebrate Provence.

From PROVENCE to the SHORES of the MEDITERRANEAN

A guided tour of the most beautiful villages in the south of France

Les Baux de Provence

In a countryside where the wind caresses olive trees, crickets sing their serenade, lavender perfumes the landscape and the sun browns the skins, the Baux de Provence bring to life a south at the height of authenticity. At his feet, the quarries of the Val d'Enfer, where Jean Cocteau shot the Testament of Orpheus in 1959.

Mougins

Located in the Cannes hinterland, as the south of France does best, the old Mougins is a real Provençal postcard. On the heights, you walk through small stone streets, climbed by ivy and squares where fountains sit. Not to mention that we can see, in the distance, the Mediterranean bordering the Croisette.

Eze

Plunging over the Mediterranean, the village of Eze offers a breathtaking panorama. At the bend of its mazes, we also discover a neo-classical church or exotic gardens where you can admire the ruins of an old castle.

Saignon

Charming village in the Luberon, Saignon compiles all the Provençal elements that make you dream: small stone houses, ivy climbs, fountains, viewpoints where you can admire the lavender fields... All perched on the edge of the Claparèdes plateau.

Gordes

At the top of the list of the most beautiful villages in Provence, Gordes seduces with its typical architecture, in stone, but also and above all for its superb bird's eye view of the Luberon. The most? There is a fabulous hotel: La Bastide de Gordes.

Lourmarin

Almost as famous as its castle, Lourmarin is one of the safe values, passing through the Luberon. Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, the typical Provençal village brings together glaciers, cafes that open onto southern squares and shops.

Ramatuelle

From Saint-Tropez, just follow the famous Pampelonne beach road to reach Ramatuelle. Charming village that went to perch on the foothills of the hill of Paillas. With the Mediterranean in mind, we discover a tangle of mazes populated by typical cafes and shops celebrating the Provençal art of living.
