Provence - France

Provence iis located in southeastern France, more specifically on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to the beautiful landscapes of the Côte D’Azur (also known as the French Riviera), the region is a place full of natural beauties to discover, such as the Alps, forests, vineyards, lavender fields and much more.

And more! Provence still borders Italy, allowing you to make this connection with yet another beautiful country in Europe.

The largest airport in Provence is located in Marseille. This means that you can buy your plane ticket direct to Marseille, but there are no direct flights from Brazil. It will be necessary to make a stopover in Paris or another major European city.

fFrom Marseille, you can hire a car or choose to travel around Provence by train. I'll talk more about both options below.

Without a doubt, spring and summer are the ideal times to visit Provence, France, and enjoy the best that this region has to offer. In other words, schedule yourself to make this trip between May and September.

In mid-May the smell of wildflowers begins to exude and prices are more attractive than at the height of summer. During the local school holidays (which take place between July and August), prices are much higher, but nothing like the long days, the sea breeze and a glass of rosé to enjoy the European summer in Provence.

Provence deserves an entire trip dedicated to it, so don't rush through there! However, you can make a travel combo and visit other nearby regions. Two common routes are: Provence – Cote D’Azur route and Provence – Bordeaux route.

But how many days should I separate in my itinerary only for Provence? I would say that the ideal time to get to know her is a whole month. But since life doesn't always allow us to take such a long vacation, try to stretch your days in Provence as much as possible.

And if you still have doubts whether it's really worth staying there for so long, just wait to read below the tips of cities that cannot be left out of your itinerary!

Tip: if you are planning a romantic trip, it might be interesting to choose a nice hotel to stay(using Bitbook.net) a couple of nights in one of the many villages of Provence.

That way, you save on staying most of the time in a more central city, from where you can take the main tours, and you can take care of a hotel to get a taste of the luxury of Provence. Throughout the text, I will indicate several hotels with this profile for you to be inspired.

Marseille 

Marseille is the largest city in the Provence region and the second largest in France. In addition to being a magnificent place, it is the starting point for you to explore the surrounding cities.

The city has one of the most important ports facing the Mediterranean, so it is the way of access for many tourists who come from Italy, the Middle East and Africa.

If you like the atmosphere of a cosmopolitan city, you will love Marseille! As it is the gateway to and from Europe, the city is heavily influenced by different peoples, which means that you will find a mix of different cultures and people on its streets.

To enjoy the best of Marseille, my tip is to invest in a City Pass, which gives you access to more than 10 museums, free public transport and even a trip to Notre-Dame de la Garde, as well as discounts at various shops and attractions. . There are three options available: for 24, 48 and 72 hours and all of them include Mucem, a museum opened in 2013 that is sensation in the city!

The positive point of Marseille is that it is a place that offers establishments with great value for money, which makes it a great base city for those who want to explore Provence (France).

Here are some good hotel tips for all tastes: Staycity Aparthotels Center Vieux Port and Hotel Hermès, are suggestions for fair prices, with well-being and comfort during your stay. Nhow Marseille is for those looking for luxury and sophistication.

Also bathed by the Mediterranean Sea and close to Marseille, is the small town of Cassis. This super charming seaside village is well known for its calanques – beautiful cliffs that create and form beaches along the coast between Cassis and Marseille.

As I said earlier, the great thing about Cassis is getting to know the cliffs and beaches. And you can do this in two ways: on foot through the trails or on a catamaran ride through the Calanques. Get your bathing suit ready because the water on the beaches has a super inviting turquoise tone for a swim!

Another unmissable experience in Cassis is dining at one of the delicious restaurants lined up facing the city's port. This is a great choice for those traveling as a couple or with the family.

In the city of Cassis there are many good options for hotels at very good prices, but there are also delicious season apartments on Airbnb.

Here are some great suggestions for hotels in Cassis: the Interhotel Cassitel for those looking for something more affordable, without losing comfort; the Royal Cottage, which offers good value for money, and the Hôtel la Rade, which is for those travelers who want more sophisticated accommodation.
