Provence, in full.
The factual shape
Provence covers southeastern France from the Rhône valley toward the Alps and the Mediterranean, with Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, Arles, and the Luberon among its familiar reference points.
The villa version of Provence is made from markets, vineyards, hill towns, Roman remains, lavender areas, shutters, and long meals that test a group’s constitution.
When it matters
Provence belongs to Villa Season in this volume of The Social Season. The timing is editorial rather than transactional: use it to understand the rhythm of the place before you plan around official calendars, ferries, openings, or events.
