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.

Provence, France 🇫🇷 📸
Provence, located in southeastern France, is a region renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. Stretching from the Mediterranean coast to the rugged Alps, Provence offers a diverse mix of natural beauty, from sun-drenched vineyards and olive groves to lavender fields that bloom in purple waves during the summer months. The warm, golden light that bathes the region has inspired countless artists, including Van Gogh and Cézanne.
The region is steeped in history, with ancient Roman ruins scattered throughout, including the impressive Pont du Gard aqueduct and the amphitheater in Arles. Charming hilltop villages like Gordes and Roussillon, built from local limestone, are a quintessential part of the Provencal landscape, their narrow streets and stone buildings inviting visitors to explore.
Provence is also famous for its food and wine, offering a delightful fusion of Mediterranean flavors. The region’s cuisine features fresh herbs, olive oil, garlic, and seafood, with iconic dishes like ratatouille, bouillabaisse, and tapenade. The local wines, particularly those from the Côtes du Rhône and Provence’s rosé vineyards, are world-renowned.
Whether hiking in the Calanques National Park, shopping in vibrant markets, or enjoying the relaxed Provençal lifestyle, the region offers an unforgettable taste of southern France’s charm and beauty.

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!

France, Red Clay City Roussillon
TobeJIN.
The legendary lord's young and beautiful wife fell in love with the troubadour, and the narrow-minded lord murdered the poet cruelly in revenge. The wife who loved the poet was not willing to steal the lover after she lost her lover, jumping off the cliff and dying. Blood stained red Lu Xiyong. Since then, this land has been showing a deep red. This bloody romantic red land has become the most unique landscape in the Luberon Mountains. In ancient times, the French called Viscus Russulus, which means "red mountain" in Latin, which vividly interprets the unique meteorite landscape of Roussillon. Roussillon, a mining field for pigmented raw materials, was famous from the Roman era and was once a world-class meteorite origin. The houses here are all made in situ, so all the houses are red outside, and from a distance they are a red fortress built on a red cliff. It is more beautiful in the small town of Nanfa, which is based on yellow.
France, Red Earth City

Red is the main color of the red clay city. The locals wear a variety of colors for their houses, making this beautiful town jump in different colors. The flower pots under the window sill, the flowers on the corners, and the thick green pine trees holding the medieval walls and the blue lavender swaying in the roadside, are pure in the pure blue sky and clean white clouds without Promise. It is already a dreamy watercolor.

It's hard to imagine that in a small town in the south of France, which is based on khaki, there is such a small town hidden in color. Although it is called the red clay city, it will be discovered when you are really close to it. The whole town of Roussillon is colored, and it is no wonder that it will be selected by the French government as one of the classic villages.

Sophie's French travel notes
Provence in southern France has a lot of beautiful and characteristic towns and villages. The red clay city is also one of them. It is also about 20 miles away from the other two scenic spots. A minute drive away, these 3 towns are the most recommended for the Avignon itinerary.
The red clay city was built along the hillside. From the moment of entering the afternoon, I felt that every place was a scene of oil painting. No wonder France has so many famous painters.
Most of the cottages in the villages are painted with red clay, partially exposed with neat bricks, giving a sense of ancientity. Walking in the city, take photos and take pictures.
