Provence: A motorhome trip through southern France

This road trip follows the scent of lavender and the taste of the Mediterranean. Starting in Avignon’s golden morning light, it drifts through cypress-lined roads and purple fields, stops for sweet Calissons in Aix, and savors a classic bouillabaisse in Marseille.

Overnight stays shift between olive groves, pine forests, and the sea. Days are filled with coastal hikes to the Calanques near Cassis, slow swims in turquoise coves, and evenings that end in Nice with a glass of wine, Socca, and a glowing sunset. A route where freedom tastes salty, smells like summer, and feels unhurried.
