This road trip is not part of the Uniworld Cruise. I planned this itinerary for my solo travel.
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.

Today
my driver is Veronica, owner of ProVans tours. 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.
