The Road of the small villages of Provence

 

We tried to find you some small nice village of Provence (Green Provence), without needing to spend the day on the asphalt to eat hundreds of kilometers.

These villages have beenselected for their intimacy by eliminating automatically the too big cities, even if those this are worth it as Aix-en-Provence.

We like the peace, the small places lined with plane trees where can confront the fans of petanque, the small cafés where vibrate the echos of kings of the belote, the alleys in the old broken up pavements…
