Provence through the seasons, outside the summer season
IN AUTUMN
After the hustle and bustle of summer, Provence returns to calm and serenity... Under mild, sunny skies, it's harvest time, an ideal time for strolling through the forest, picking mushrooms, admiring the flamboyant colors of the vines, fields, forests & its wild animals.
IN WINTER
The diversity of its landscapes, the mildness of its climate (sometimes dry and cold), you'll discover the region in a more intimate way: quiet villages, the traditions of Christmas in Provence with its santons, cribs and 13 desserts, truffles at the Carpentras market, olives at the mill..
It's a whole new atmosphere, a whole new world of colors.
IN SPRING
A verdant landscape, with the first almond blossoms heralding the arrival of fine weather! Spring in Provence is the season of Carpentras strawberries, poppies, cherries and asparagus, an enchanting landscape of beautiful colors and fragrances heralding the arrival of summer.
PROVENCE TRUFFLES

With demonstrations during the harvesting season for each truffle variety
From mid April to the end of October, for Tuber Aestivum, the Saint Jean truffle.
