Hotels in Provence, France

Provence, in southeastern France, basks in a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers averaging 80°F (27°C) and mild winters around 50°F (10°C). Famous for lavender fields that bloom from June to August, you can hike the Plateau de Valensole or cycle through the Luberon's hilltop villages like Gordes. In winter, explore the Roman ruins in Arles-including the 1st-century amphitheater-or taste Côtes de Provence wine at a cellar in the Var region.
