My Week in Provence: Sunlight, Lavender, and Quiet Moments

Lavender Mornings and Spa Rituals

I began my stay in Aix-en-Provence with a morning of stillness. Wrapped in my satin robe, I indulged in a slow skincare ritual while the light filtered through antique windows and fresh lavender filled the room. Provence has a way of making even the quietest moments feel like something sacred. Have you ever given yourself the gift of doing nothing at all?

Sheltering from the Rain

Not every day was sunshine, and I adored it. One gentle rain led me to the arches of an old stone walkway, umbrella in hand, trench coat belted, hair in a soft twist. The landscape blurred in the distance—green, timeless, and serene. There’s poetry in the rain, especially here in Provence. Have you ever found calm beneath a stormy sky?

Fields of Gold and Lavender

When the sun returned, so did the color. Dressed in linen and walking barefoot through warm golden fields, I carried a fresh bundle of lavender gathered from the morning market. I felt like I’d stepped inside a painting. Provence glows in the afternoon—it doesn’t ask for attention, it simply shines. What color would you say best describes your current mood?

Spinning Through the Sunset

Golden hour in Provence is different—it lingers. I couldn’t resist twirling through a hillside in my blush-toned, off-the-shoulder gown. The wind carried everything away—noise, deadlines, tension. I wore sparkling earrings and nothing else needed to be said. Have you ever danced just for yourself?

Raindrops and Runways

  • Camille Clouzeau walks a muddy path in Provence under a black umbrella, wearing a tan jacket and pleated skirt on a misty day.
  • Camille on a rainy path with a stylish handbag, umbrella, and pleated skirt.
  • Camille looking back while walking a muddy country path under an umbrella, dressed in soft neutrals.
  • Camille walking in the rain on a countryside path, wearing a pleated skirt, knit sweater, and trench coat.

Some of the most memorable moments came under grey skies. One afternoon, I took a long walk through the countryside in soft neutrals—pleated skirt, warm knit, long coat. The rain made everything glisten. I smiled as my boots met the puddles, hair curling softly in the damp air. Even grey days in Provence know how to dress. What’s your favorite rainy day outfit?

Quiet Streets, Subtle Style

On the sunniest day, I wandered through the quiet lanes of a Provençal village in a draped blush blouse and tailored linen trousers. The shutters were open, the breeze was warm, and my straw tote held little treasures from the market. Some streets aren’t meant to be rushed—they’re made for walking slowly, watching shadows shift.

Market Day Moments

I ended my week in the heart of the open-air market. The scent of herbs, the buzz of conversation, the joy of small discoveries. I wore white lace and a lilac ribbon, a reminder that fashion can be both gentle and expressive. I left with my arms full of lavender, and my heart just as full.

Traveling through Aix reminded me that style isn’t only what we wear—it’s also the way we move through the world, the pace we choose, and the moments we let ourselves truly feel.
