Ahhh…a picnic in Provence. Immediately your imagination conjures up an idyllic image of our gorgeous Provence countryside... wildflowers, lavender and olive groves await. And our Provence Picnic excursion idea offers an abundance of local goodies to enjoy as you explore all the rich culture and history of our region.
See the castles and chateaux, discover the local markets or walk through the village back streets and find that nic-nac you have been seeking... Then just stop by a river or on a country lane, open up your gourmet hamper and relax in the sun. Surely, even a little romance...
