South of France

South of France – Exploring the Mediterranean

The South of France incorporates a variety of scenic explorations.  Roman built cities, medieval hilltop villages, sumptuous valleys and even spectacular mountains are just the beginning of what you can explore.

One hour south, of what I call the central core of Provence (around L’Isle sur la Sorgue), is the Mediterranean. To truly explore all the facets of the South of France, I highly suggest at least one day along the Mediterranean.

There are always flowers for those who want to see them

– Henri Matisse

We all need to travel to wake up our senses and rediscover who we are without the demands of our stressful lives. You don’t have to travel far - a trip to a local campground or a weekend away at the quaint little town a few hours away can do the trick. But what if you have the itch to really explore something you have yet discovered? What if that voice is telling you to travel to the Emerald City.
