The landscape of classic Provence is definitely a sight to behold. From the Pont du Gard and the scattered remnants of Roman architecture, the endless rows of vineyards and olive groves, to the medieval village Uzes and on you way to the mekka of Rose, Tavel.

Literally you will have a explosion of flavours in Provence. From briny olives and earthy truffles in the markets of Uzes, indulge in the delicious goat cheeses with figs, spread your toasts with aoli or pesto dip. And the perfect accompaniment for these flavours is a glass of Provençal wine, rose, white or red.

You will certainly awaken your sense of smell as you cycle along the pungent fields of sage, rosemary and thyme and inhale the relaxing scent of the ubiquitous lavender.

And your ears will be abuzz with the sounds of Provence as you hear humming voices carrying through the markets, encouraging cheers from the old people playing petanque, and the subtle song of the cicadas making you sleep like a baby.

Market day in Uzes

Imagine riding with the scenic backdrop of the Pont du Gard aqueduct beside you and the panorama of sweeping views from endless wineyards in front of you. A visit to Uzes on market day will have you sampling the world’s best olive oils, local produce and more before you head off to Chateauneuf du Pape, the most famous Cotes du Rhone wine in France.Its all about filling all your senses and enjoying the best part of live, food, wine and all the unique markets with fresh local products. Welcome to Provence.
