Provence Lavender Fields – Provence, France

#springitinerary Although peak lavender season is summer, spring in Provence is its gentle prelude — and just as magical. The hills were turning green, cherry and almond trees bloomed, and early wildflowers blanketed the fields. I explored quaint villages like Gordes and Roussillon, where cobbled streets and blooming shutters made every turn a postcard. Vineyards were waking up, and cafes spilled into sunny squares. #springitinerary tip: visit in late April for fewer crowds and warm afternoons. Provence in spring is a softer, quieter version of itself — fragrant, serene, and the perfect place to slow down and savor life.
