After a whole year in June, I went to South France to see the sea of lavender flowers.

Have you seen "Summer in Provence"? Flowers, sunshine, olives...summer is really the season in Southern France! Starting from June, the lavender in Southern France will be in full bloom again! Check out 5 little things you must do in South France to spend a romantic summer together🎠 ✅️Watch a sea of ​​lavender flowers💐 Lavender can be seen in different towns in southern France. The flowering period starts in mid-June and varies depending on the altitude. The lower plains will be the first to welcome the sea of ​​flowers. The largest lavender flower sea is in the Valensole Plateau. With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, the lavender here can stretch to the skyline, and you can also see the sunrise and sunset in the flower fields. If you want to avoid the crowds, you can also go to Luberon. The widely circulated photo of the lavender fields of the abbey is the Senanque Abbey here. Starting in July every year, lavender festivals are held in various small towns. Local residents wear traditional costumes to perform, and there are also grand lavender markets, which are an indispensable part of experiencing Southern France in depth. ✅️Attend a theater festival in Avignon🎭️ Every July, Avignon becomes a theater stage, with hundreds of thousands of theater people from all over the world gathering here to perform works. Meng Jinghui's "Rhinoceros in Love" has been here before, and the biggest production every year will be staged at the Papal Palace. On the street, you can also see people in fancy clothes promoting their works through various performances, and some even move the prop bed from the stage to the street ✅️Following the traces of Cezanne in Aix🎨 The famous painter Cezanne was born in the small town of Aix in South France. Traces of Cézanne's Impressionism can be seen everywhere. The most worth visiting must be Cézanne's studio. The interior is richly furnished, and the ceramics, cabinets, and statues still retain the appearance of Cézanne's lifetime. Cézanne's masterpiece "The Bathing Girl" was born here. Walking out of the studio, Cezanne actually stuffed the entire Aix into the painting. To the east of the city, you can overlook the Mont Saint-Victoire, which often appears in Cézanne's paintings. The place where "Red Rock" was created ✅️See Van Gogh’s same sunflowers in Arles🌻 In addition to lavender, you can also see patches of sunflowers blooming in southern France, especially in Arles, a small town where Van Gogh lived. In Arles, you can see the prototypes in Van Gogh's paintings everywhere: the Rhone River, the Arena, the outdoor cafes at night... At the Carrière Museum, the former quarry has been transformed into a screening room. World-famous paintings are transformed into light and shadow covering the huge stone walls. Here, you can appreciate the paintings from a different angle. ✅️Explore ancient Roman ruins in Nîmes🏛️ Nîmes is a magical city. The ancient Roman ruins here are more complete than those in Rome, Italy. In particular, the Colosseum in Nimes is the best preserved of the few remaining arenas in the world, and is not easy to see even in Italy. Not only that, following the guide, you can also pass through the secret passage on the third level of the ancient Roman aqueduct🤫 The popularity of English in Southern France is not as good as that in Paris, and the distances between various attractions are relatively long. If you want to go to Southern France this summer, you are welcome to go with HH.
