Suggested Itinerary for a 5-Day Romantic Getaway

Provence is one of the most timeless destinations for a couple’s break. In 5 days, the ideal is to focus on the “Golden Triangle” (Luberon and Alpilles) to avoid spending too much time in the car.

Day 1: Aix-en-Provence

  • Stroll hand-in-hand along the Cours Mirabeau and explore the narrow streets of the city’s historic center.
  • Visit Cézanne’s studio or relax at the Thermes Sextius.
  • Romantic Dinner

Day 2: Luberon

  • Head to Gordes, one of France’s most beautiful villages. Lose yourselves in its “calades” (stone alleys).
