WHY GO
The antithesis of cold, rainy, northern Europe, the Provence Cézanne painted and Camus wrote of is resplendent with tall cypress trees, shimmering meadows, small villages, vineyards, remote valleys, daily markets and fields of lavender. The Lubéron - which runs for 50km between Cavaillon and Manosque - has always been a holiday retreat for well-heeled Parisians and the British, and has always attracted a good number of artists, who flock to Apt and the surrounding, tiny villages. Other areas in the region offer beautiful villas that are ideal for family holidays.
