Summer is two months away with its promise of lavender fields, chilled rosé, and swimming in the Mediterranean. However, there is plenty of activity in Provence before the summer break, with the Olympic flame scheduled to arrive in Marseille’s Vieux Port on May 8th aboard the magnificent, 3-masted ship Belem. Here are some details about the Olympic Flame relay route leading up to the opening ceremonies in Paris on July 26th. If you are in Marseille for this exciting historical event, Lynne shares some ideas for enjoying a few days in France’s second-largest city.
Summer Holidays in Provence
A magnet for road cyclists, getting to the summit of Mont Ventoux is a challenge for almost everyone. However, it’s time for food and wine once the climbing ends. So, we asked our friends at Le Prieuré La Madelène, a 5-bedroom B&B, for dining suggestions they recommend to their guests. It’s such a deliciously tempting list that you may need to book an extended stay in the Vaucluse. This B&B is close to the Drome Provencale.
