Top activities for spring holidays in Vaucluse
As a family, with friends or as a couple, spring holidays in Provence promise sunny days, outings to enjoy the landscapes of the Luberon, the protected nature of the Mont Ventoux Regional National Park, the springtime colours of the vineyards of the Rhône Valley, and the welcoming terraces of Avignon.
Workshops for children
The spring holidays bring with them the time for chocolate and creative workshops for decorating eggs. It is a popular tradition for children, particularly enjoyed in addition to the egg hunt during this chocolate period.
To prolong the pleasure of creating, imagining and crafting, other workshops are planned throughout the holidays: ceramics, soap, cooking – there are plenty of ways to have fun with materials, flavours and colours.

In the kitchen, spring vegetables will awaken your senses and enhance your dishes. Assisted by a chef, learn to sauté, simmer, grill – all bringing out the best of products grown in Provence.
