The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Var region
If you prefer total peace and quietness and few people around...then you must visit Provence to experience the joys of spring. Why not have that well deserved spring break?
Because of the relatively mild climate blossom appears early; mimosa blossom from the end of January; from early March the pink blossom of the almond trees can be seen in the gardens and from the end of April to June the wonderful magnolia.The weather can be very varied at this time of the year with cold nights and bright sunny days and some welcome rain.
Visit charming local sights. Just 10 kilometers from the house we have one of the regions famous lakes Lac de Ste. Croix . The lake was formed in 1975 by daming the river Verdon. The village of Les Salles-sur-Verdon lies 40 metres below the surface. Here you can spend time doing most water sports in relative peace and quite.
The lake is big enough to give you the feeling of space at any time of the year. There are restaurants and plenty of beaches and picnic areas together with strategically placed lifeguards.
You may not have imagined yourself in the South of France for winter but we can assure you’ll have a fantastic holiday or short break. We’ll be pleased to offer you accommodation for short breaks if that suits your lifestyle.
At this time of year the flora and formal is changing with unusual colours. The roads are empty and the countryside is all yours.
The Mediterranean resort towns are peaceful and you are within driving distance of the mountain region for skiing. If you don’t feel like being energetic then just relax. Read a book or while away the day creating that painting that you always wanted to create and never got round to it.
You can practise your French. Go and meet the locals they are great people if you join in.
If you don’t feel like cooking or going out, we can arrange a hot meal delivered to the house.
Regusse / St Jean area
Why not visit Marseille or Aix-en-Provence with its charming squares and fountains and lovely Baroque mansions. Paul Cezanne had his studio in the old town. You could visit Arles, a great Roman city and a favourite of Vincent Van Gogh. See its Roman amphitheatre and theatre along with the magnificent Romanesque Cathedral of St. Trophime. There is a Folk Arts Museam a fabric factory and even an olive mill to see how olive oil is produced.
