Van Gogh's iconic paintings of almond blossom were inspired by the trees of Provence. Flowering as early as February, their billowy white blossom marks the arrival of spring and a new cycle of life. From now until the olive harvest of winter the fields of the Luberon region of Provence will be busy; one stunning display after another, as the markets fill with their produce.

We have been operating in this area for more than 20 years, and have plenty of info on our website to help you plan, from when the lavender flowers to when the markets are open.

The Tarte Tropézienne must be the Provencal cake with the most glamorous history. While filming in St Tropez way back in 1955, Brigitte Bardot discovered it in a local patisserie. The heavenly creation was inspired by a hand-me-down recipe from the pastry chef's grandmother. It became a firm favourite on set and Brigitte suggested the name which has stuck to this day.

Legend has it that the original handwritten recipe (actually patented in 1973!) is locked away in a safe. Despite the secrecy, you can enjoy the Tarte Tropézienne across Provence - it’s a light-as-air brioche filled with delicious vanilla cream and topped with crunchy sugar.

🇫🇷 What’s the difference between a boulangerie and patisserie? Head to the boulangerie first thing for fresh bread and croissants, and the pâtisserie later on to pick up delicate pastries and tarts. A day well spent!

The tiny village that ticks all the boxes

The ancient Luberon village of Maubec is one of our favourites. Off the main track and nestled against the Luberon mountain it's a miniature version of some of the better-known villages.

Park by the church at the bottom and walk the short but steep cobbled road to the top, with views across vineyards and to the bordering pine forest of the Luberon mountain itself. A gentle circular walk starts from these steps and follows along one the prettiest of paths before dropping down to circle back alongside vines and cherry orchards.

As with a handful of other Luberon villages, the more recent additions of grocery, cafe, bakery are set apart from the original hill-top village, leaving it sitting up high, in absolute peace.

We know this area well, and have plenty more info on all aspects of the Luberon, alongside our carefully curated collection of gorgeous holiday homes to rent: https://www.theluberon.com
