Provence&#8217;s lavender-dusted hills and centuries-old hilltop villages give way, eventually, to the shimmering coastline of the French Riviera, and the contrast between the two is part of what makes this journey so satisfying. One rewards you for slowing down. The other pulls you toward the sea.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <strong>Provence and French Riviera itinerary<\/strong> is less a sightseeing exercise and more a shift in pace.

Arrive before 9am if you can. The light on that stone in the early morning is worth setting an alarm for. Roussillon sits nearby, built from ochre cliffs that turn the village rust-red at sunset, and earns at least an afternoon.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For lavender, the Valensole plateau is the most cinematic. The smell hits you before you&#8217;ve even opened the car door. For something more intimate, the Abbaye de S\u00e9nanque near Gordes frames a 12th-century Cistercian monastery with lavender fields that still stop you in your tracks, however many times you&#8217;ve seen the photograph.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aix-en-Provence works well as a base for the region.
