In the heart (and heat) of August, Provence invites you to slow down, while the cicadas serenade from dawn until dusk. As summer comes to a close, grapes and olives ripen, promising a bountiful harvest. Although the lavender season is winding down, Terre Ugo, located near Aix-en-Provence, remains open until the end of August, offering workshops and family-friendly activities.
The local markets feature heirloom tomatoes in vibrant hues and ripe figs, both of which are perfect with a touch of fromage. The abundance of seasonal produce makes entertaining a breeze. Be sure to check out our summer recipe collection, featuring 20 easy-to-follow recipes and menu suggestions (click here to download your copy).
