Gordes Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Beautiful Gordes
#celebratewithtrip
The village of Gordes is located in the Luberon, a spectacular region in the heart of Provence. Gordes is one of the most well-known hilltop villages in the region, and one of the most beautiful in France. Many agree that Gordes is the most beautiful hilltop village in Provence and for good reason: winding streets, cobblestone paths, and stunning views.
#gordes #provence #france #friendstrip
Gordes is the most beautiful little town in Provence. To get to this viewpoint simply leave the town and make sure to come during sunset and bring a good bottle of French wine.
Provence is a place full of history
It really makes people linger. The blue sky, white clouds, sunny weather, and unique scenery around me make me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. Visit three mountain towns in Provence. Biquan Village, nestled in the mountains and rivers, the spring water is gurgling, cool and comfortable. Gouhe Town, perched on the top of the mountain, the city in the sky, spectacular and fascinating. Huxi Yong Village, simple and pleasing to the eye, the city of red soil, intriguing. The small town of Provence, full of charm, like lavender, fragrant and romantic, lingering for a long time!
First stop, we recommend trying the local specialties of Provence
Lavender salt roasted lamb chops. The local chefs are very good at cooking with fresh lavender, and salt-roasted lamb chops are one of the most popular dishes. The tender and juicy lamb chops with a hint of lavender aroma are memorable.
Next, if you like outdoor sports, then hiking through the lavender fields of Provence is not to be missed. During the flowering period from June to August, large fields of lavender bloom with beautiful flowers, forming a purple ocean. Walking along the country roads, you can not only admire the magnificent lavender fields, but also pass through some ancient villages and historic churches.
Transportation in the Provence region is very convenient. You can choose to take a train from Paris to Marseille, and then transfer to local trains or buses to reach the Provence region. In addition, if you like self-driving tours, you can inquire about the details of the parking lot in advance, because the number of parking lots in the Provence region is limited.
For accommodation, there are many characteristic hotels in the Provence region for tourists to choose from. I recommend a hotel called 'Lavender Appointment', which is a hotel with a lavender garden, with elegant environment, attentive service, and moderate price. Of course, if you prefer more personalized accommodation, you can choose to stay in local homestays. These homestays are carefully decorated, and each has its own characteristics.
When visiting Provence, please keep quiet and do not disturb the wildlife in the lavender fields. In addition, due to the changeable weather in the lavender fields, it is recommended to prepare rain gear and sun protection at all times. Also, although you can take pictures in the lavender field, please respect the regulations and do not use flashlights and tripods.
In summary, Provence in France is a place worth exploring with your heart. I hope this guide can help your trip. Finally, I wish you a happy holiday in Provence!

Roussillon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Roussillon Village
#celebratewithtrip
Walking in the alleyways of Roussillon
The village is very beautiful, the yellow and ochre colours tint the houses and you can enjoy discovering the narrow streets. We enjoyed a walk in this small village with colourful houses. At every corner of the street, we discover new colours. At the bend of a crossing, a narrow staircase leads us to another alleyway. The colours are warm and we appreciate the visit. The house with ochre colour decorated with rosebushes and flowers. The village also offers beautiful views of the surrounding area.

Palais des Papes Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The Old Papal Palace (not in the Vatican)
I didn’t know there was a Papal Palace in France until I visited one in Avignon.
It was an old building but still pretty interesting. The place Is really big and good for 2 hours long. There is an interactive tablet that serves as a guide as well. It makes use of VR so that was pretty cool.
It’s the main attraction in Avignon and a must visit, although it’s not something incredibly breathtaking.
Cool experience nonetheless.
The Medieval Papal City
Avignon, a famous tourist city in the south of France, is most prominent for the city walls that encircle the old town, stretching five kilometers in total, all built from massive squared stones, very similar to the feeling of the ancient cities of Xi'an and Pingyao in Shanxi. Here, one is not limited to visiting the ancient sites and museums, but can also stroll through the historic alleys, exploring the hidden treasures scattered throughout every corner of the city.
As the largest Gothic building of the Middle Ages, the Papal Palace witnessed the wealth and power of the Catholic Church in the Kingdom of France at one time.
The Petit Palais Museum, an extraordinary art museum located in front of the Archbishop's Palace, spans most of the 14th to 17th centuries in its construction, providing a perfect environment for displaying its numerous masterpieces.
The Broken Bridge/Saint Bénézet Bridge, widely known for a famous nursery rhyme, once spanned the Rhône River and served as a link between the Papal territory and the Kingdom of France. Of the twenty-two arches of this monumental building, only four remain today, with the rest having been swept away by the raging river centuries ago.
Provence's 5 most worth visiting places
The Papal Palace
In Avignon, the first thing you need to visit is the Palace of the Popes, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest Gothic palace in Europe.

Cassis was once considered a hidden gem, but has become more well-known in the past few decades. However, this is not a negative thing. In fact, it is still one of the best tourist destinations in Provence, with its white cliffs making it a great place to visit in the summer. Not only that, Cassis is also famous for its wine, and you can enjoy a drink at one of the many coastal bars and restaurants.

Saint-Remy-de-Provence (French: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. It is one of the best markets in Provence, located on the French Riviera.
Arles Rhone Delta
Van Gogh's other residence in Provence was Arles. In fact, you can take a stroll in the Van Gogh tour and see some of the places where he painted about 300 paintings around Arles. To this day, you can also visit the Langlois Bridge, one of his famous paintings that still stands proudly.
Provence Aix-en-Provence and Rhone River Mouth
Provence's Aix has the warmth of the south of France and the elegance of Paris, making it a must-visit destination in Provence. If you prefer to spend more urban holidays in Provence, the city atmosphere here is the perfect choice.

Avignon Old Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The summer in the South of France
1⃣️Burgundy region | Chablis, Côte d'Or, Beaune town
Burgundy is famous for its wine, and where there is fine wine, there is certainly no lack of beautiful scenery. Hills covered with blueberries, fields cloaked in forests, sparkling lakes, and of course, vast vineyards. Embedded within are medieval villages and retro castles... It's no wonder it's so popular for weddings.
Driving into Burgundy from Paris or the Champagne region, the first area you pass through is Chablis. Then you travel through Côte d'Or to reach the town of Beaune, to explore the Hospices de Beaune, the wine cellars in the old town, the classical houses, and the unusual geometric patterns made out of colorful enamel bricks on the rooftops...
Winery recommendation: Domaine Laroche (Chablis)
Hotel recommendation: Hostellerie Levernois
Restaurant recommendation: La Table de Levernois
2⃣️Provence | Lyon, Avignon, Gordes
Lyon is one of the oldest cities in France, especially the small street under the Fourvière hill in the old town, which retains many buildings from the 15th to 17th centuries, making one feel as if they have returned to the Middle Ages.
Avignon is covered with lavender and has many papal elements, such as the Papal Palace, Avignon city walls, Pont Saint-Bénézet, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Doms, all filled with a mysterious aesthetic. Gordes-Provence, the location of postcard-perfect scenes, boasts not only the beautiful sea of lavender flowers but also the Stone Town as one of its highlights.
Hotel recommendation: Airelles Gordes
3⃣️French Riviera | Saint-Tropez, Monaco, Èze, Cap Ferrat, Nice
Saint-Tropez can be said to be the symbol of the reputation of the French Riviera, with many low-key yet luxurious top hotels and high-end restaurants, becoming a gathering place for wealthy celebrities and stars. Cannes is also a place full of history and artistic sense, with seafood that is even more affordable than in Nice.
Monaco is a country within a country, not belonging to France~ but it is quite wealthy, with valuable sports cars seen everywhere on the beautiful streets, making the whole country feel like an incredible showcase. Èze is a small village between Nice and Monaco, and from its exotic garden at the top of over six hundred meters, one can bird's-eye view most of the French Riviera, a very charming and spectacular sight.
Cap Ferrat is just a ten-minute drive from Nice. It's great for hiking. Nice is a delicate and elegant color city, with markets that are great to stroll around, full of the charm of the South of France. Because Monaco, Èze, Nice are all close together
The old residence of the Pope is Avignon
❤Recommended reason:
Avignon Old Town, the former residence of the Pope. The broken bridge is near the entrance of the old city, and the old city is full of historical sedimentation, suitable for aimless wandering or finding a roadside shop to sit.
🚉Travel strategy:
It's very convenient by TGV high-speed rail. Tomorrow
Provence filled with romance
Across the ocean, there is a medieval knight city.
She is located on the blue coast of the Mediterranean
It's the hometown of lavender. She is called Provence
As children, we probably all watched a TV show
The Zi Ling in 'See the Dream Again' lived the way all girls wanted to be
And she and Yun Fan's home is in Provence
You ask me how to describe the beauty here
I think it should be the lavender manor full of purple in July and August
It should be the mysterious castle full of Avignon's broken bridge
It's the couple bathing in the sun on the Nice beach
Or the beautiful perfume manor in Aix
Provence is like a palette rendered by God for lonely life
Leave all kinds of colored flowers in the world
We always say the world is so big, I want to see
But for a while, I don't know where to start
Provence will never disappoint you
Here, flowers and leaves are in love,
Trees and the earth are in love
The blue sky and white clouds are in love
Everything you can perceive is in love.
Love surrounds Provence
And it infects everyone who comes to Provence
Set off, right now.
