Weather and best time to travel to Provence

Provence has a pleasant Mediterranean climate with warm summers, mild springs and fine autumn days. Spring offers greenery, flowering landscapes and pleasant temperatures for excursions, cycling and hiking. Autumn is often clear and pleasant, with harvest time, wine landscapes and a calmer pace.

A common question is: when does lavender bloom in Provence? Lavender typically blooms from mid-June to late July, but the timing varies depending on altitude, weather and location. In some higher areas, flowering can last into early August.
