What’s the terrain like in Provence?
The terrain can be surprisingly hilly in Provence. There are certain areas where the countryside is fairly flat (around Avignon, and heading in a south-westerly direction towards L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Cavaillon, St Remy, Arles, and the Camargue etc.) However, in the eastern and northern region of Provence taking in the Luberon, the lavender fields in and around Sault, the northern wine belt area (with the exception of the area around Orange and Chateauneuf-du-Pape), and north of Vaison-la-Romaine, the countryside is undulating, rolling and at times quite hilly.
