fabulous<br />
things to do<br />
in Provence<br />
In an area famous for so many things, like beautiful lavender fields, charming hilltop<br />
villages, and delicious food, it’s hard to pick favourites. We asked local author Keith van<br />
Sickle for his top ten Provence things to do…<br />
Les Carrières des Lumières, Baux-de-Provence<br />
Magic in a Mountain<br />
Imagine this: you enter a giant cavern with<br />
sheer, 30-foot-high walls. Huge images start<br />
to appear on one wall, then another, then on<br />
the floor. You realize that they are paintings by<br />
a great artist like van Gogh or Cézanne. The<br />
images pulse and swirl, full of life and color,<br />
their movements choreographed to beautiful<br />
music. This is the Carrières de Lumières, the<br />
world’s most magical sound and light show,<br />
and a different artist is featured each year. It’s<br />
so popular that copies are popping up all over<br />
the world, but none matches the original. You<br />
really do have to see it to believe it!<br />
Picnic in the Sky<br />
The Cedar Forest sits far above the Luberon<br />
Valley, higher even than the nearby hilltop<br />
village of Bonnieux. As you take the winding<br />
road up to the forest, there’s a secret spot off<br />
to the side<br />
where you<br />
can picnic<br />
under a tree<br />
and enjoy an<br />
unparalleled<br />
view across<br />
the valley.<br />
