This road trip is not part of the Uniworld Cruise. I did this independently.
Provence
is one of the most beautiful regions of France, stretching from the lower Rhône River in the west, to
the Italian border in the east, all bound by the azure Mediterranean Sea to the
south, known as the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
This solo trip is dedicated to a
look back at hilltop villages that I visited many years ago and making new discoveries
in the Luberon, department of the Vaucluse. Some villages are classified
as the Plus Beaux Villages de France and others are notable for historical
efforts, artists, and markets. Many of the villages are close together and
never far from my home base in Avignon. Provence
is famous around the world for its postcard-worthy villages and breathtaking vistas.
Where each village has its unique personality and a special allure; it’s love
at first sight.
Canal de l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
Today my driver is Veronica from ProVans she is very knowledgeable of the area and speaks, Italian, French, English, German and Russian. She is very skilled for all her international clients.
We drive east of Avignon approximately 25km to the edge of the Luberon region where we stop at L’lsle Sur la Sorgue. It’s a beautiful drive into the
countryside with Mont Ventoux high and proud in the distance. It's a quaint village where it's surrounded with canals fed by the Sorgue river. This picturesque town is a
discovery for me.
