Provence 💜✨

Provence 💜✨

The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region is quite large and can be broken into 3 sections: the Provence section, the Alps and the Côte d'Azur. When visiting this region of France, I HIGHLY recommend trying to dedicate enough time to each section because they are so incredibly unique and diverse! Below you can find all of my personal guides and itineraries for the PROVENCE part of this region. Think small villages, lavender and beaches!! Also, at the end of this guide, you can find some logistical FAQs about the region (how to get around, how to get to/from the airport etc). Be sure to check it out!

What to do:

Other ideas:

Do you need more information for your trip to Provence?

Airport: 

-Marseille Provence Airport (international airport)

-If you're flying into Paris or arriving from a different city, Marseille is also accessible by train: 

How to get around the region: 

-The best way to visit the Provence region is by car. Provence is characterized by its small villages and natural beauty, most of which are not really accessible by train. Renting a car and embarking on a road trip would be my best advice!! 

Getting to/from the airport: 

-It takes roughly 25 minutes to get from the airport to Marseille Saint Charles Train Station. You can access this by shuttle bus directly from the airport. 

-If you are not staying directly in Marseille, there are other bus and train routes from the airport around the Provence region.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I’m a seasoned traveler with experience in over 30 countries around the world, who’s been lucky enough to have lived in both France & the UK. Now I love helping travelers make the most of their trips and explore more underrated corners of France & the UK! My goal is to not overwhelm you with options— in my guides & itineraries, I provide suggestions that are truly worth it, based on personal experience or in-depth research. Whether you’re planning a dream trip to France, the UK, or beyond, I hope I can help you plan your next adventure! ✨ My expertise? 🇫🇷 On top of living in Lille, France for 2 years, my French fiancee has helped me develop a passion for this country beyond a typical tourist. Over the past 8 years, I’ve explored France from north to south: I’ve visited Paris 9 times, road-tripped through Normandy twice, & fell in love with Alsace. I’ve spent time castle-hopping in the Loire Valley, beach-hopping in Corsica, & explored Provence & the French Riviera multiple times. Bordeaux has become a second home, with over 10 visits to the region. 🇬🇧 I lived in London, UK for 2 years, mostly during the pandemic, when I really got to know the city in depth - since we couldn't go anywhere else! Beyond London, I’ve road-tripped through Scotland twice, explored gems like York and Liverpool, road-tripped through Cornwall & enjoyed countless day trips, from charming villages to coastal towns. Why trust me? 🌍 Lived & traveled: I’ve called both France and the UK home, giving me insider knowledge and plenty of travel experience!
 ✈️ 20+ European countries: My travel experience spans the continent, so I know how to navigate Europe and want to help others do the same.
 🧳 Organized, detailed & thoughtful: My itineraries focus on making the most of your time & budget, blending structure with room for spontaneity. 🥐 Foodie at heart: Food is also a huge part of my travels, & I make it a point to seek out the best local dishes & restaurants wherever I go.
