   • Cassis. No longer a true hidden gem, Cassis still offers a pleasant respite from Provence’s more popular port cities with its dramatic seaside setting, framed by the imposing white cliffs and the series of calanques (narrow inlets) tucked among them.
   • Les Baux de Provence. Perched on top of a natural plateau in the heart of the Alpilles where it boasted a strategic historical position, Les Baux de Provence is often considered one of the most picturesque Provençal villages.
   • Gordes. Often listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France, Gordes is a charming mix of sleepy French hillside village and posh resort town. The area is a favorite among celebrities as a quiet summer retreat, but the atmosphere is still unpretentious.
   • Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. If the gently rolling wheat fields and gnarled olive groves surrounding Saint-Rémy-de-Provence look familiar, don’t be surprised; Van Gogh spent a year here during one of his more productive periods, during which he composed Starry Night among other famous works.
