In Provence, the religious tradition of "Christmas time" says that it should last 40 days, and finish at Candlemas. This very old Provençal culture assembles the families around the nativity scene on December 24, and it is the done thing to attend the midnight mass after the "big supper", which concludes invariably with the thirteen desserts. Avignon, cradle of Provence, duly celebrates Christmas time, and offers lots of entertainment on its lit-up streets. a visit you can complete with the "Chemin des Crèches", a very pretty stroll through the different animated and illuminated nativity scenes, allowing you to discover the fabulous traditional "santons" figures.

Château de Cassis and its spectacular views overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the pretty port of the village. Set high on a cliff above the port, the castle dates back to the 11th century. Now, after seven years of meticulous restoration, the château has been converted into a luxurious 9 bedroom home with a quiet walled garden and a stone swimming pool.

THE OLIVE TREE, A GIFT OF THE GODS…
Tree of legends and the Gods, introduced in Provence by the Greeks thousands of years ago,
the olive tree characterizes our Provencal landscapes.
It is currently the season of the crop of olives. One of my favorite moments in Provence involved helping friends and family with their olive harvest...
Blown about by the strong and cold north wind known as the Mistral, we pick olives for hours always nattering.

Enjoy the paradox: Vaucluse, the smallest county in Provence, overflows with quality-labelled local products: the purple Muscat grape from Mont Ventoux; the Nyons olive; Cavaillon melon; Carpentras strawberries and Monts de Venasque cherries. Vaucluse is the number one producer of the so-called “Perigord” Truffle.

Vaucluse vintages from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Beaumes-de-Venise have convinced the world.

Avignon is the city in France which has 9 starred chefs.
