Mid July is when the lavender fields are in full bloom, filling the country air with a soothing fragrance.
2. Absolutely colorful landscapes: Famous painter Henri Matisse once said, “No place has more blue sky than Collioure in the south of France. As long as I open the shutters in my room, I can own all the colors of the Mediterranean.” Southern France’s countryside is varied and sun lit, bordered by the sparkling Mediterranean sea.
