Best towns to visit in Provence

by Hayden

Provence is a region situated in the far South East corner of France. Adjacent to Italy and with miles of stunning Mediterranean coastline on offer we here at Vintage Travel believe it to be one of the most romantic, culturally appetising and appealing areas of France. In many of the towns it’s like stepping back in time to the Roman days when the area was conquered in 2^nd Century BC.

We have many luxury holiday villas to rent in Provence – see the entire range here.

There’s a huge amount on offer in Provence… whatever you’re seeking. This article will hopefully help you identify three of the best towns to visit whilst on your stay.

Luxury Holiday Villas In Vaucluse

by Hayden

We have a fantastic line-up of holiday villas in Vaucluse (South West France) for the new season.

In the Midi-Pyrénées, for example, is Vigueris – a four bedroom, four bathroom restored stone property sleeping up to eight which has a large private fenced, solar heated pool, boules pitch and spacious grounds.

Vigueris - a new addition to our 2010 South West France catalogue

In addition, a ‘small party rate’ is offered at 17 properties in France and means great value for smaller families/groups as they can enjoy the facilities of a larger house – at a reduced rate – outside of the peak summer months.

Call us today or check out the properties available in the South West of France for yourself.

Do you feel guilty turning on the Air Conditioning?

by Hayden

At Vintage Travel, we are in a quandary, balancing client needs with ecological concerns.

Accepting that we cannot avoid transport issues, -being an overseas operator, we have to look to other areas to go green where we can.

Over the past few years, we have been encouraging owners to ‘upgrade’ their properties in line with ever more sophisticated client expectations, -and to install Air Conditioning.

Many of our houses now have this facility, however, we have now taken time out to consider its impact to date, the amount of electricity used, and whether we should continue down this route.

Just how harmful is AC to the environment?
