Your eco-responsible holidays in Aix-en-Provence

Appreciated for its natural treasures and cultural heritage, Provence is a favorite destination for enjoying an eco-responsible stay.

Between vineyards and lavender fields, a variety of charmed landscapes offer all their splendor. So come and enjoy, the time of a walk or drive, the colorful villages of the Provençal hinterland such as Roussillon, Gordes, Lourmarin or Aix-en-Provence.

Ecotourism in Provence, how to do it?

In Provence, there are some natural riches that remain and are the pride of its inhabitants.

At Villa Amara, we are committed to supporting a more eco-responsible way of life that has less impact on our environment. Thus, we invite you to discover, on foot or by bike, these few wonders nestled in the four corners of our region.

Mont Sainte-Victoire

At 1011 metres, Mont Sainte-Victoire is one of Provence’s most emblematic landmarks.

Whether you’re a sports fan or a thrill-seeker, you can climb it on foot, by bike or even paraglide down it. It’s the ideal place for hikers, with some 250 kilometres of paths criss-crossing it.

Mont Sainte-Victoire also boasts some of the most stunning scenery you’ll ever see on a postcard.

The Verdon regional natural park

Located between the coast of the Côte d’Azur and the Alpes de Haute Provence, the Gorges du Verdon are today considered the largest canyon in Europe.

Known for their sumptuous landscapes and breathtaking views, the Gorges du Verdon serve as a meeting place for hikers and thrill seekers. Visit them on foot, on horseback or even in a pedal boat. Each point of view is unique

A little higher, nestled at the top of the grand canyon, is also the Plateau de Valensole also called the lavender sea. As its nickname suggests, it is here that the famous lavender of Provence has been grown for more than a century.

The Plateau de Valensole can be visited all year round and offers you different scenery each season with its fields of lavender in full bloom in early July.

Roussillon and the ocher trail

Known to be one of the most beautiful villages in France, Roussillon and its colorful facades are located in the heart of the Lubéron massif, between lavender fields, vineyards and olive trees.

Beyond its typical architecture of tile roofs, ornate doors, and wooden shutters, the picturesque streets and ocher cliffs make Provence a destination of choice for authentic holidays. Traditional cuisine, colorful landscapes and numerous hiking paths with views of the Luberon massif make a visit to Roussillon a rejuvenating moment in the heart of nature.

A painter’s dream come true, Roussillon is home to majestic ocher hillsides, shaped by two centuries of stone extraction offering decors of a palette of infinite colors.
