Member bloggers My Melange lay out their top 5 reasons to visit Provence on your Europe vacations.

Provence Dec05, by Halans

The article contains some very enticing photos (in more ways than one!) which do much more than just add beauty to a good story, highlighting the multitude of Provence attractions.

In essence, Provence is a gorgeous region of France and highly recommended for Europe tours. The outstanding five reasons to visit Provence are originality, art coming alive, hidden treasures, wonderful markets and the colour purple.

These reasons have of course to be explained in full, which the original article does exceptionally well. For example, experiencing the lavender in full (purple) bloom is possible from late spring to early autumn, when the fields sway under the gentle breezes carrying the aromas far and wide, making the European traveler feel part of a surreal experience.

Europe vacations would not be complete without outdoor markets. In these, locals sell fresh produce, food, wine and art to a rich mix of people including those engaged in travel through Europe. Although markets can be visited by everyone who takes a trip across Europe, they are particularly noticeable by those that travel by train, since many stations are usually in town centres where outdoor markets are held.

As for the other reasons for visiting Provence, i.e. hidden treasures and originalities, you will have to find Provence attractions. Which, judging by the article, should not be too difficult!
