Provence...Peter Mayle
country, you might say. The land is more rugged, but also more filled with
tourists looking to recreate A Year in Provence in a week. The prices on this side of the
Rhone are a bit higher (although it's pretty expensive wherever you go), things seem both a bit more chic and a bit more "rustic,"
if you catch my drift. Pictured right are fields of lavender and the Abbaye de
Senanque near Gordes.
 A wonderful luxury place to stay in this area is the
Hotel Crillon le Brave, which is perched on a hillside overlooking the Gigondas
and Vacquéyras wine regions and great food at its restaurant as well (pictured
left).
