A vacation with your family in the South of France is the stuff that dreams are made of. Drift off into an alternate universe of sun-soaked villages, sandy beaches, and a slow-motion, uncomplicated version of life. Provence’s picture-perfect villages sit on hilltops, surrounded by lavender fields and vineyards. Markets are full of fresh fruit and vegetables, and the perfect souvenirs to take home. There are Michelin-star dinners (for the grown-ups), sandcastles and ice creams (for the children), and plenty of water sports (for the teenagers). Stylish, boutique hotels have spas and customized activities which show off the picturesque local areas.
