Provence food, lifestyle, and Mediterranean living magazine.

Cycling fans, get ready for the thrill of a lifetime as the Tour de France races from Montpellier to Mont Ventoux on July 22nd. As someone who's tackled this 'giant,' I can't imagine doing it at race pace—Allez!

July also marks the peak season for Provence's tomatoes, zucchini, and eggplants, perfect for ratatouille, along with apricots and plums ripe for sweet tarts. Beyond their stunning appearance, Provence's lavender fields are key to local farmers' livelihoods; visits to distilleries like La Ferme aux Lavandes support this vital industry.

While summer sizzles, beat the heat at the Carrières de Lumières in the Alpilles with this year's Monet and Rousseau exhibition—tickets are recommended. Afterward, enjoy dining at L'Oustaloun in Maussane.
