We are planning our two weeks long vacation to the South of France and since we are a bit adventurous, but in a low-risk way, no bungee-jumping for us. We are more of leisurely adventurous ones, we spend 2-3 nights in a village then we pack up and move on to another town for a couple of days and then to another one for the last 5-6 days. We just love Provence so much we really want to get the feeling of all these charming little towns and take it all in while there. The first few days will be in Gassin to enjoy the charming beautiful village and also to be just close enough to St. Tropez. Our second stay will be at Uzes for 3 nights where we will be able to drive to Arles and Saint Remy and all those beautiful towns where it doesn’t matter how often we go it’s always amazing. Our last stay will be in Gordes where all we are planning to do is well the same things we will have been doing for the previous week, wandering around, visiting Flea Markets and stopping on our ways for new discoveries. I really can’t wait. It’s always fun to plan what to pack traveling. Below, some of my Provence travel essentials. What to pack for Provence.
This will be our third year in a row spending two weeks of summer in Provence but there is so much we don’t know, so much we would love to show our son and share together that if you guys have any recommendations for us please share. Do you know of a new restaurant, hot spot or exciting little town? Please let me know. I’m a sucker for comfortable clothes especially comfortable pants and dresses, pieces you can intermingle and make traveling easier. Now, we all know that the South of France can get pretty warm so there will be lots of off-shoulder, ruffles and of course stripes.
A Boater hat is a must for any summer destination, A black asymmetric cold shoulder top for $44 is perfect for evenings, This flutter-sleeve top with embroidery trim is super adorable, A Cashmere scarf for the evenings, any of these sundresses will look great under the Provence sun. Aren’t these espadrilles the cutest and if you are going to Provence you need to take a pair of espadrilles for $119, the classic white pants not bad for $381, in this case, not jeans something with softer fabric, a big woven straw tote to hold the daily purchases, the jeans skirt is classic with a twist and for $30.99 is practically free.
