Maison Vue Provence: A village house with a view in Bonnieux, France

Stumbled across this fresh field of lavender on our morning walk. The grower obviously hasn't used the mechanical hoe to remove the weeds. But you know what? All that yellow just adds to the spectacle!

The Fort de Buoux is an amazing hilltop ruin with traces of civilization dating back to Neolithic times. More recently, inhabitants fortified the precipitous ridge - but also built an escape route now called the secret staircase. If you are in the Luberon region of Provence, it’s about 15 minutes from beautiful Bonnieux.

Bonnieux and the surrounding villages of Gordes, Roussillon, Lacoste and others are situated in the Parc naturel régional du Luberon. So there is virtually no modern development and this time of year, plenty of greenery.

As summer approaches the sun is peeping over the horizon early and the lavender looks stunning.

One of our favorite walks close to home - the amazing Falaise (cliff) de Madeleine which towers above the tiny village of Lioux. This loop walk is only about six kilometres but the scenery and views are spectacular, especially when the lavender fields are starting to bloom.

Summer is just around the corner in Provence and the lavender is blooming in all the secret places. In fact, we stumbled across this beautiful field of purple just yesterday on a hike. What are you waiting for?
