France.<\/a> It is located between the Mediterranean, Italy and the Rh\u00f4nedal and offers historic towns, typical quaint villages and fantastic nature reserves.<\/p>\nDuring a trip through Provence, a visit to the spectacular Gordes du Verdon<\/strong> is an absolute must. This second largest river gorge in Europe is a perfect area for activities such as hiking and kayaking. Very special to see the bright blue water squirming along the rocks in this rugged landscape from Marg\u00e9s Vaumaleis.<\/p>\nDiscover the beautiful and historic city of Avignon<\/strong> located on the River Rh\u00f4ne with many cultural highlights such as the Palais des Papes, the medieval bridge Pont Saint-B\u00e9n\u00e9zet. Explore the city of Arles<\/strong> where Vincent van Gogh has gained a lot of inspiration for his paintings. The well-preserved Roman amphitheatre is also highly recommended. The large port city of Marseille has been <\/strong>on the rise again in recent years. The old district of Le Panier, the old port and the many tasty restaurants are worth a visit.<\/p>\nOf course, Mont Ventoux<\/strong> can’t be missed during a Provence trip. This highest mountain is over 1900 meters high and very popular with cyclists and hikers. On the coast, near Marseille, lies the Massif des Calanques<\/strong> consisting of narrow coves surrounded by high white cliffs. In these coves there is often a beach from where you can swim in the beautiful azure sea.<\/p>\nThe vast Parc Naturel R\u00e9gional du Luberon<\/strong> nature reserve includes the mountain massif Luberon, the valley of the Apt and the countless idyllic villages. These villages are characterised by the stone cottages and lie among the typical Mediterranean French landscape with lavender fields and vineyards. Gordes<\/strong> is one of those villages that certainly can’t skip on your route. The beautiful marshy nature reserve the Camargue<\/strong> is well worth a visit because of its special ecosystems. The many wild horses, flamingos, salt pans, beautiful beaches and also fortress town Aigues Mortes<\/strong> can be found here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Enjoy wonderfully scented lavender fields, picturesque villages and beautiful nature.
