Visit local markets and get delicious Provençal specialities for your picnic along the trails!

After your picnic along the trails, don’t forget to stretch out on the thyme-laden hills, slip your backpacks behind your heads, hat over your eyes, and let the chant of cicadas soothe us into a sleep: SIESTA time.
