10
fabulous
things to do
in Provence
In an area famous for so many things, like beautiful lavender fields, charming hilltop
villages, and delicious food, it’s hard to pick favourites. We asked local author Keith van
Sickle for his top ten Provence things to do…
Les Carrières des Lumières, Baux-de-Provence
Magic in a Mountain
Imagine this: you enter a giant cavern with
sheer, 30-foot-high walls. Huge images start
to appear on one wall, then another, then on
the floor. You realize that they are paintings by
a great artist like van Gogh or Cézanne. The
images pulse and swirl, full of life and color,
their movements choreographed to beautiful
music. This is the Carrières de Lumières, the
world’s most magical sound and light show,
and a different artist is featured each year. It’s
so popular that copies are popping up all over
the world, but none matches the original. You
really do have to see it to believe it!
Picnic in the Sky
The Cedar Forest sits far above the Luberon
Valley, higher even than the nearby hilltop
village of Bonnieux. As you take the winding
road up to the forest, there’s a secret spot off
to the side
where you
can picnic
under a tree
and enjoy an
unparalleled
view across
the valley.
