Whether you love winter or can't wait for the season to end, February offers some hope with slightly longer days and the early signs of spring's arrival in Provence. Along the coast, the mimosas are blooming, and the towns along the 130 km Route du Mimosa host festivals, parades, concerts and more in celebration of the sunny yellow flowers. In other parts of the regions, the almond trees put on a display of delicate white and pink-hued blossoms.
