Provence: A Dreamy Place Filled with Lavender Fragrance, Bring Her Here to Love Her
When talking about love, many girls would tease their boyfriends, saying they're going to places with lavender. China's lavender lands are in Tongliao, while the place that made lavender world-renowned is Provence in France. It's a symbol of love and romance.
Provence is in France, but it's close to Italy. Sometimes foreign friends misunderstand it as an accurate location, but in reality, Provence is a broad term because the weather is often warm and rainfall is very consistent. It's a place where many precious flowers grow, including lavender. The classification of lavender here is the most complete, whether it's long-stemmed or round-leafed, and purple is the only thing they have in common. Every summer, when you open your door, you can always smell the fragrance. Many famous French perfume locations extract their essence from here.
Besides lavender, there's also a very famous place – Marseille. The city's urban population is second only to Paris and Lyon, making it France's third largest city and largest port. The city's location is exceptionally advantageous, which has shaped its climate and economy.
If your memory of Marseille still stays with the Marseille depicted in history textbooks, this is the frontline of early French people's struggle, the City of Heroes. Walking across this vast expanse, you can see various sculptures commemorating everything that happened here.
Besides going to see and smell the fragrance of flowers, the local culture is also very romantic. Weddings are held in the towns, and the guests invited may not be many, but if the residents of the town see a couple, they will participate and wish them well, and share in their joyful moments.
The most famous thing in the local cuisine is French wine, because the area is the most suitable for grape cultivation. Plenty of sunshine, warm and humid, good wine producers will choose to locate their addresses here. Every year during the grape harvest season, people will drink until they're slightly drunk, and walk the streets, enjoying the fun.
The local cuisine is also based on pasta, and pizza is a favorite food of the people here. If you're traveling, you definitely shouldn't miss this delicious food. Also, if you want to recommend the best month to visit, it's around July and August. The scenery here is the most charming in the summer, and people enjoy themselves, strolling along the cobblestone streets, overlooking the sea.
Of course, you must bring sunscreen and prepare well, and it's best to have a French guide or join a tour group, so you won't get lost.
