Michelin Green Guide Provence

From the Michelin Green Guides series.

Provence extends an invitation to your senses. Listen to the music of cicadas chirping through a summer evening. Breathe the invigorating fragrance of a field of purple lavender as the breeze sways the long, elegant sprays of colour. Feel the warmth of the spring sunshine on your bare skin, or step into the shade of a fig tree in high summer and enjoy the sudden cool. Savour the lush tomatoes, juicy melons, fat black and green olives, the fresh local goat cheeses. Look around you. In Niolon, the blue waters of the creek are unruffled by wind, protected by the abrupt cliffs encircling the beach. In Aix, see how the stone buildings seem to absorb the sunlight and glow golden. In Nîmes, at carnival time, you might be excused for thinking you are in Spain; standing below the Pont du Gard, you may expect to see Roman legions marching towards you. All this and a hundred small details will fill up your experience of visiting Provence: the cry of a shepherd piercing the clear air of the Luberon mountains; the clink of metal pétanque balls in a sand lot where the villagers gather to play; the refreshing sensation of a midday nap in a house where the shutters have been drawn against the heat. Provence is more than a place on a map, it is a way of life.
