Early fall in Provence can be gentle with foggy mornings and bright days. Or the season arrives abruptly swept in by a cold mistral wind. With a diminished fire risk, hiking is generally terrific. At this time of the year, evening materializes rapidly, and the sun's departing rays bath the region in a filtered pink glow—the painter's light. As the light fades, try our new fall menu curated by chef and tour guide Jean-Marie Liere. Enjoy the return of wild mushrooms, squash, chestnuts and more autumn fare.
September 18th & 19th, the 38th edition of the Journées du Patrimoine takes place throughout France, a country with some 44,000 national monuments. This weekend's theme - Heritage for All - is an opportunity to explore those public and private spaces that form part of the nation's history. Regardless of where you are in the country, take advantage of free access and guided visits (note: booking is often required). Weather permitting, explore a private garden as many are required to open only a few times a year. Here is the official website.
