L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue antiques and canals
The Venice of Provence wakes early: mossy waterwheels, canal-side cafés and three hundred antique dealers. Sunday adds the famous market — plan around it if you can.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse spring walk
The Sorgue erupts fully-formed from a 300-metre-deep chasm under red cliffs — Europe's biggest spring. The riverside path up is twenty minutes of impossibly green water.

Lunch in Gordes
The Luberon's poster village, stacked in grey stone on its ridge. Lunch on a terrace off the château square, then the viewpoint lay-by north of town for the full stacked-village shot.

Sénanque Abbey
The 12th-century Cistercian abbey in its lavender-filled combe — the most photographed monastery in France, still home to a working community. Rows bloom late June to early August.

Roussillon ochre trail
A village painted every shade of its own quarries — blood orange to pale gold. Walk the Sentier des Ocres' short loop through the old workings as the light goes warm.

Dinner in Bonnieux
Across the valley to the terraced village facing Lacoste. Rosé from the slope you're sitting on, daube of lamb, and the Luberon going purple below.
