Provence – slow living, great eating, culture and countryside. It has everything. If the idea of a relaxed pace of living tempts you, a taste of “la belle vie” in your very own vineyard or chateau, then you really couldn’t do better than considering investing in one of our luxury properties in Provence and the Var.
Your home is your castle, as they say. That’s surely what you’ll feel when sitting on your terrace with family and friends. The famous Provencal light which so inspired great artists makes everything around you golden. The cicadas ‘sing’ their typical song. As far as you can see are hills and typical Provencal ‘garrigue’ – scrubland covered in wild thyme, rosemary and lavender.
If you feel like a taste of city life, you’re never too far from the buzz of cities like Aix en Provence or Avignon. A beach day? The charming sea ports of Cassis, St Tropez or the Islands of Porquerolles not far from Toulon are a drive away. You definitely also need to discover the Gorges du Verdon, one of Europe’s most beautiful river canyons, and Moustiers Sainte Marie, a gorgeous village to the west of the gorges.
Though the area is a real magnet for visitors, you can always get away from the crowds if you need to. The weather is good year round. You can sip your cappuccino in outdoor cafes and savour a platter of oysters in restaurant terraces even in November, December and January. Okay, you might keep your jacket on at this time of year, but still, the sun is shining and all is well.
