Visiting Provence in September

The discreet charm of September makes it undoubtedly the best month to enjoy Provence and the Luberon. When the summer hustle and bustle subsides, the region reveals its true character: a bright climate, landscapes bathed in soft light, and the Provençal art of living at its most elegant.

Indian summer

With temperatures between 20–25°C and cool evenings, September offers the ideal climate for alternating between walks, swimming and relaxing on the terrace. The generous sunshine prolongs the summer warmth, without the crowds of July and August.

A heritage to rediscover

Heritage Days open the doors of castles, churches and monuments that are usually inaccessible. A rare opportunity to immerse yourself in Provençal history in an intimate atmosphere.

Festivals and traditions

In Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the Fête Votive unfurls its procession of horses, music and Camargue conviviality. In Arles, photography exhibitions extend the cultural season until the end of the month. In September, every village and every square retains this vibrant energy that combines authenticity and elegance.

The art of living around wine and gastronomy

It's harvest time. In the Luberon, estates welcome visitors for private tastings, picnics in the vineyards or exclusive participatory experiences. The Vendanges Étoilées de Cassis, where Michelin-starred chefs and sommeliers celebrate the terroir, perfectly embodies the marriage of gastronomic expertise and wine excellence. At the end of the month, the Fête de la Gastronomie showcases the region's exceptional products: olive oils, wines, lavender and Camargue specialities.

A timeless art of living

Hiking in the ochre hills of the Luberon or the calanques, mushroom hunting in the hills, or simply contemplating the unique light of Provence: September invites you to slow down and savour the essentials.
