CanuckonaBoat Posted February 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2018 apparently - our day in Marseille/Provence is before the lavender full bloom. If i still go to Luberon/lavender fields - what will I see? Is it still worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare marazul Posted February 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2018 apparently - our day in Marseille/Provence is before the lavender full bloom. If i still go to Luberon/lavender fields - what will I see? Is it still worth it? Lots of low, green bushes. The same landscapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeene Posted February 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The Luberon is beautiful in any season. Visit a few of the tiny villages; Bonnieux, Gordes, Lacoste,Roussillion, many small old churches, monastery, wineries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckonaBoat Posted February 19, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted February 19, 2018 thanks! I'm trying to figure out if i really have to go that far to visit old churches, monastery, wineries, etc.. I was really only going to see the Lavender. We were also considering Les Baux-de-Provence, Aix en Provence, St. Remy and Arles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeene Posted February 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Aix is like a tiny Paris feel, great bakeries, but can get crowded if there are lots of cruiseships in port. St Remy is great if you are a Van Gogh fan. Arles if you are an "old stone and ruins" kind of person. I still love the villages of the Luberon, no crowds and relaxing. A much slower vibe.
