  • 5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 4 This day we left the Alpilles and headed into the Luberon, and you can really feel the change in landscape along the way. Our first stop was L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, a very particular town built around the Sorgue river, which literally runs through it. As you walk, you keep crossing small canals and seeing the old water wheels that once powered textile and paper mills. It gives the town a very distinct character. It’s also known as one of the main antique hubs in France, so you’ll find a lot of shops and markets dedicated to that. — From there, we drove up into the Luberon hills to Lourmarin, where we stayed for our last night. Lourmarin feels a bit different from other villages, more open, more lived-in. There are lots of cafés, small shops, and a very relaxed atmosphere. We also visited the Château de Lourmarin, which is one of the first Renaissance castles in Provence and gives the town a slightly more elegant feel. — Later in the afternoon, we went for a wine tasting at @chateau.constantin. The estate is known for its organic wines and a more natural approach to winemaking. We tasted five different wines and learned about their process, including their use of amphora, which was interesting to see in practice. Before the tasting, we also walked a bit through the vineyards, which made the whole experience feel more complete. — To end the day, we went back to our countryside accommodation @lesjardinsdelagraviere near Lourmarin. It was one of those places surrounded by nature, very quiet, perfect to slow down. We had a simple aperitivo with some of the wines we bought during the day, just enjoying the setting.
  • 5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 3 We started the day in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence with a simple breakfast from a local boulangerie, croissants and something sweet. — Then we drove to Les Baux-de-Provence, one of the most unique places we visited. The village is literally built on top of a rocky ridge in the Alpilles, surrounded by cliffs with amazing views. Walking through it feels very different from other towns because everything is made of stone, the houses, the walls, the streets, even the staircases. It makes sense when you remember this wasn’t designed to be a charming village, but a strategic fortress. The view from the village, offers a landscape, with olive groves, cypress trees and that very particular golden light of Provence. — We went back to Saint-Rémy for lunch at @bartabacdesalpilles where we had a really good meal. We also tried a local Vermentino from the Alpilles, which felt quite different from the Tuscany ones, a bit rounder, softer and more Mediterranean. After lunch, we spent some time just walking around Saint-Rémy. — Later in the afternoon, we drove to Avignon. We walked around the historic center, saw the Palais des Papes and the Pont d’Avignon. It feels more monumental and historic compared to the smaller villages we had been visiting. Dinner was at @arlequin_restaurant in Avignon, a younger and more modern spot with traditional dishes but with a twist. — We ended the day driving back to Saint-Rémy, ready for the next one.
  • 5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 2 We spent the morning continuing to explore Aix-en-Provence, and obviously, the highlight was the Thursday Provençal market. Each square has its own vibe: Place Verdun → clothes, accessories, things for the house. Place Richelme → the best one (in my opinion), full of local products: seasonal fruits and vegetables, cheeses, olives, spices… and that lavender smell everywhere. Place de l’Hôtel de Ville → flowers, colors, and a really nice atmosphere For lunch, we went to @lemiollis, which was perfect to recharge before continuing the trip. — From there, we drove into the Alpilles and based ourselves in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence for the next two nights. We stayed at @apparts_and_lofts_, very well located and super convenient. First impression of the town: it feels like an open-air gallery. There are shops everywhere: clothing, home decor, art, small cafés, and épiceries And everything is so well maintained that it feels newly done, but without losing its charm. — In the evening, we drove about 30 minutes to Arles. We walked a bit around the center, saw the amphitheater and the Roman arena, and just took in the architecture, it feels a bit different from the rest of Provence, a little more raw, maybe. Dinner was at @lepicerieducloitre, a really nice spot to end the day. Then we drove back to Saint-Rémy.
  • 5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 1 We left Lucca early, slowly watching the landscape shift until we crossed into France. After 3 hours and 40 minutes, our first stop was Menton, and honestly, it surprised us. The old town climbs up in soft pastel colors, all facing the sea. From the top, the views are beautiful in a quiet, effortless way. The steps leading to the Basilique Saint-Michel Archange feel almost theatrical, like you’re meant to take them slowly. Everything here revolves around lemons, from local products to little details across the town. We also stopped by the market, full of fresh seasonal produce and a very local feel. — From there, we drove about 2.5 hours to Aix-en-Provence. We stayed at @hotel_le_mozart , just about 1 km from the center. A quiet, lovely neighborhood, and the hotel was simple, clean, and very comfortable, with incredibly helpful staff. That first evening in Aix was all about wandering: lively streets, small artisan shops, ceramics, paintings, beautiful little things everywhere. The city feels alive, probably because of its university energy. We ended the day with dinner at @bistroquetaixenprovence, where we had a really great meal. Good start to the trip.
  • One of the greatest perks of living in Lucca, beyond being in such a beautiful place, is having a Renaissance gem like Florence so close, close enough for a simple day trip. These were my spots from my most recent visit. - Late breakfast at @la_menagere - Lunch at @trattoriasostanzafirenze for local food like bistecca fiorentina and its classic butter chicken. - Coffee or aperitivo at Gucci Giardino @gucciosteria , depending on the mood. #florence #florencesspots #wanderingandtasting #guccigarden #lamenagere
  • All a girl needs for a perfect relaxing day: lunch in a beautiful spot surrounded by flowers, delicious food, and time with friends @laylienitalia @coisasdejuh_. @podere_39 in Florence was absolutely perfect! #florence #lunchinflorence #foodieinflorence #Podere39 #wandeingandtasting

It’s also known as one of the main antique hubs in France, so you’ll find a lot of shops and markets dedicated to that. — From there, we drove up into the Luberon hills to Lourmarin, where we stayed for our last night. Lourmarin feels a bit different from other villages, more open, more lived-in. There are lots of cafés, small shops, and a very relaxed atmosphere. We also visited the Château de Lourmarin, which is one of the first Renaissance castles in Provence and gives the town a slightly more elegant feel. — Later in the afternoon, we went for a wine tasting at @chateau.constantin. The estate is known for its organic wines and a more natural approach to winemaking. We tasted five different wines and learned about their process, including their use of amphora, which was interesting to see in practice. Before the tasting, we also walked a bit through the vineyards, which made the whole experience feel more complete. — To end the day, we went back to our countryside accommodation @lesjardinsdelagraviere near Lourmarin. It was one of those places surrounded by nature, very quiet, perfect to slow down. We had a simple aperitivo with some of the wines we bought during the day, just enjoying the setting.

5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 3 We started the day in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence with a simple breakfast from a local boulangerie, croissants and something sweet. — Then we drove to Les Baux-de-Provence, one of the most unique places we visited. The village is literally built on top of a rocky ridge in the Alpilles, surrounded by cliffs with amazing views. Walking through it feels very different from other towns because everything is made of stone, the houses, the walls, the streets, even the staircases. It makes sense when you remember this wasn’t designed to be a charming village, but a strategic fortress. The view from the village, offers a landscape, with olive groves, cypress trees and that very particular golden light of Provence. — We went back to Saint-Rémy for lunch at @bartabacdesalpilles where we had a really good meal. We also tried a local Vermentino from the Alpilles, which felt quite different from the Tuscany ones, a bit rounder, softer and more Mediterranean. After lunch, we spent some time just walking around Saint-Rémy. — Later in the afternoon, we drove to Avignon. We walked around the historic center, saw the Palais des Papes and the Pont d’Avignon. It feels more monumental and historic compared to the smaller villages we had been visiting. Dinner was at @arlequin_restaurant in Avignon, a younger and more modern spot with traditional dishes but with a twist. — We ended the day driving back to Saint-Rémy, ready for the next one.

5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 2 We spent the morning continuing to explore Aix-en-Provence, and obviously, the highlight was the Thursday Provençal market. Each square has its own vibe: Place Verdun → clothes, accessories, things for the house. Place Richelme → the best one (in my opinion), full of local products: seasonal fruits and vegetables, cheeses, olives, spices… and that lavender smell everywhere. Place de l’Hôtel de Ville → flowers, colors, and a really nice atmosphere For lunch, we went to @lemiollis, which was perfect to recharge before continuing the trip. — From there, we drove into the Alpilles and based ourselves in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence for the next two nights. We stayed at @apparts_and_lofts_, very well located and super convenient. First impression of the town: it feels like an open-air gallery. There are shops everywhere: clothing, home decor, art, small cafés, and épiceries And everything is so well maintained that it feels newly done, but without losing its charm. — In the evening, we drove about 30 minutes to Arles. We walked a bit around the center, saw the amphitheater and the Roman arena, and just took in the architecture, it feels a bit different from the rest of Provence, a little more raw, maybe. Dinner was at @lepicerieducloitre, a really nice spot to end the day. Then we drove back to Saint-Rémy.

There are shops everywhere: clothing, home decor, art, small cafés, and épiceries And everything is so well maintained that it feels newly done, but without losing its charm. — In the evening, we drove about 30 minutes to Arles. We walked a bit around the center, saw the amphitheater and the Roman arena, and just took in the architecture, it feels a bit different from the rest of Provence, a little more raw, maybe. Dinner was at @lepicerieducloitre, a really nice spot to end the day. Then we drove back to Saint-Rémy.
5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 2 We spent the morning continuing to explore Aix-en-Provence, and obviously, the highlight was the Thursday Provençal market. Each square has its own vibe: Place Verdun → clothes, accessories, things for the house. Place Richelme → the best one (in my opinion), full of local products: seasonal fruits and vegetables, cheeses, olives, spices… and that lavender smell everywhere.

5-Day Provence Itinerary — Day 1 We left Lucca early, slowly watching the landscape shift until we crossed into France. After 3 hours and 40 minutes, our first stop was Menton, and honestly, it surprised us. The old town climbs up in soft pastel colors, all facing the sea. From the top, the views are beautiful in a quiet, effortless way. The steps leading to the Basilique Saint-Michel Archange feel almost theatrical, like you’re meant to take them slowly. Everything here revolves around lemons, from local products to little details across the town. We also stopped by the market, full of fresh seasonal produce and a very local feel. — From there, we drove about 2.5 hours to Aix-en-Provence. We stayed at @hotel_le_mozart , just about 1 km from the center. A quiet, lovely neighborhood, and the hotel was simple, clean, and very comfortable, with incredibly helpful staff. That first evening in Aix was all about wandering: lively streets, small artisan shops, ceramics, paintings, beautiful little things everywhere. The city feels alive, probably because of its university energy. We ended the day with dinner at @bistroquetaixenprovence, where we had a really great meal. Good start to the trip.

One of the greatest perks of living in Lucca, beyond being in such a beautiful place, is having a Renaissance gem like Florence so close, close enough for a simple day trip. These were my spots from my most recent visit. - Late breakfast at @la_menagere - Lunch at @trattoriasostanzafirenze for local food like bistecca fiorentina and its classic butter chicken. - Coffee or aperitivo at Gucci Giardino @gucciosteria , depending on the mood. #florence #florencesspots #wanderingandtasting #guccigarden #lamenagere
