Traveler advice
Getting around
Best way to get around in the South of France is by car.
You can find buses and trains but you most often need a car or a taxi to get to the station.
Book before you go
Take a nap or stay near the pool between 12:30 - 3:30 pm
Most shops close between 12:30 and 3:30 in the smaller villages in the summertime to have long leisurely lunches and take a nap due to the heat.
Book before you go
Book your visits to sites like Les Beaux de Provence
Book a few days in advance to visit the more famous sites like wine cellars or Les Beaux de Provence where they have light and sound shows in the old limestone quarries.
