France ▏ Provence, near infinite sun travel


Encounter lavender, sunflower or wheat fields
As the French novelist Colette said, the beauty of Provence is not the same, but the style is varied, and the beauty of Provence is varied to match its profound cultural heritage and widespread myths and legends.
Even on the most popular flower tour of Provence, you don't have to just stick to the regular route of lavender fields, but can discover sunflowers and vast wheat fields in addition to lavender at the same time between June and July.

The most beautiful wheat field
If you also like Van Gogh's sunflowers, then this is in Provence, France

Of course, some people go into the poetic lavender landscape painting, and some people like me go into the second village girl...... Riez in Provence is known as the "lavender capital", the vast purple sea covering the Valensol plateau has been praised by many writers, and lavender markets are regularly held here.

Boating on Lake Holy Cross

Of course, South France Provence not only has the famous lavender fields, sunflower fields, cultural centers, but also has the gift of nature - Verdong Grand Canyon National Natural Park. Together with the Lac de Sainte-Croix at the end of the canyon, the Georges du Verdon is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Provence.

If you have paid attention to the Chanel show in Paris before, you will find that Karl Lagerfeld built a grand waterfall landscape in the grand Palais, the mountain peaks, the rushing water, it is in the south of France has many beautiful waterfalls in the Gorges du Verdon (Gorges du Verdon) as inspiration, it is one of the most beautiful canyons in Europe, In the canyon, the Verdon River bends like a blue ribbon kissing the mountain walls. Tens of kilometers of river water finally into the Holy Cross Lake, as holy as God's blue tears dropped on the earth.

To stay in the mountains of Provence

Provence, at its peak, was a place that poets recalled in their later years as paradise. In the words of Marcel Pagnol, a famous writer born in the south of France, Provence is a beautiful idyllic world surrounded by wine, anise, cafes, garden parties, small markets and villagers. In the words of Peter Mayer, a new settler in Provence, in the boundless sunshine of Provence, they would go to the surrounding villages and watch a goat race in one village; Travel far away to taste the best food in a small family restaurant in a small village. On a fine day in spring, riding a bicycle in the shade, wandering among wildflowers......

Here, "sunlight is an excellent sedative, and time passes silently like a dream." The days are long and slow, even lazy, and life is so happy!" Such a place, even for tourists, is worth choosing a good place to stay for a few days, feel the real mountain life, and experience the mood of basking in the infinite Provence sunshine every day.

It was Club Med Opio en Provence, the Mediterranean resort I chose as my mountain residence when I visited in June.
Club Med, which originated in France, is perhaps the most authentic way for you to experience the French way of vacation. The Opio Resort is one of the oldest properties in the Club Med Group and has been open for nearly 30 years. It is ideally located on a hilltop, making it a great place to holiday all year round.

And don't worry about getting old, either, as the resort has just completed a €10 million upgrade, refurbishing rooms, adding terraces and launching a 2,000-square-metre circus Playground called CREATIVE Playground, in partnership with Cirque du Soleil, There are 30 kinds of experience activities including trapeze, bungee jumping, wall dancing and tightrope walking, so that ordinary people can feel the wonder of acrobatics.

Do not like sports, such as me, can also play to make the shape

When the resort is full, it is said that there are more than 1,000 guests, nearly half of whom are children, but staying in clean and tidy rooms, you can still enjoy the peaceful days in the mountains. In the morning Opio, especially in summer, the sky is bright, the time is long, and people feel happy and free in such green.

This Mediterranean Opio resort preserves a vast area of natural wilderness in addition to the man-made facilities. The undulating olive and pine and FIG trees, the unshaded sun, and the summer flowers of every kind, are like the love of joy.

At noon, you can dine in a beautiful restaurant and enjoy French cuisine. Even in summer, the temperature in the mountains of Provence is only about 23 degrees, and the sun is beautiful and gentle, which is suitable for eating outdoors.
Also like to go to the pool in the afternoon sun, in addition to the large pool on the mountain, this hotel has a private small pool space, where everyone needs to keep silent, or swim, or turn the book, quietly enjoy the beautiful sunshine of Provence.

Or book a perfume class, which is regularly held in Opio by Fragonard, a perfumery factory in the neighbouring town of Grasse. Perfume is like memory, follow the advice of the perfumer, make a bottle of perfume that only belongs to your own Opio flavor.

In the evening, dinner in such a beautiful sunset, and the unexpected black cat Jun for you to personally interpret the poetic moment of Provence.
Nights in Opio aren't dull either, with staff throughout the resort putting on performances with different themes every week, sometimes with fireworks, and there's always a good drink waiting for you at the poolside bar

Of course, you can also choose to go to the surrounding town for a whole day, at Club Med you can rent this kind of chic retro blue nosmoke electric car, 50 euros a person.
If you don't want to drive, you can also walk directly to the nearby town of Opio, where you will find many interesting shops and details of life in very southern France.

Of course, ClubMed is also known for family travel, especially recommended for families with small children, and this ClubMed Opio all children's facilities are placed in a magical "sapling world", surrounded by olive trees and lavender bushes, like other ClubMed, here G.O. Will teach children circus, or regular tennis, golf, etc.
