Are you dreaming of a getaway with family or friends to make the most of the warmer weather? With its unique landscapes, Provence is the ideal destination for <\/span>a<\/b> weekend away in France <\/b>in May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why not take advantage of the May bank holidays to get away from it all in Provence?<\/h2>\n

The<\/span> May bank holidays<\/b> are the perfect time to get away from it all without having to take all your leave. Thanks to public holidays in France, there are a number of long weekends for people working in France to enjoy. Here are the main May bank holidays:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Labour Day (1 May)<\/b> \u2013 If this day falls on a Monday or Friday, it creates an extended weekend.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Victory Day in Europe (8 May)<\/b> \u2013 Same principle as 1 May, if it falls on a Monday or Friday, it creates an extended weekend.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Ascension<\/b> \u2013 Always on a Thursday, which often means you can manage a long weekend if you take Friday off.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Pentecost<\/b> \u2013 Whit Monday is a public holiday, which also means a three-day weekend.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Depending on the year and the days when these public holidays occur, you can combine several long weekends to take full advantage of the month of May and save some days for the summer holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The May bank holidays are the perfect opportunity to get away from it all in during <\/span>a weekend away in France<\/b>. Provence, in the south, is the perfect place to enjoy spring in a peaceful, authentic setting. With its magnificent landscapes bathed in sunlight, the region is just the place to relax with its mix of excursions, lunches on the terrace and opportunities to simply unwind.<\/span><\/p>\n

    As well as being much less crowded than in summer, Provence in spring is characterised by longer days, mild temperatures and a countryside bursting with colour. It\u2019s the perfect time for a rejuvenating break, with family, friends or as a couple.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Why not begin unwinding over the Easter weekend? This period is also a great opportunity to take a well-deserved break before the May bank holidays, and enjoy the charm and serenity of Provence.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Ideas for weekends during the May bank holidays<\/h2>\n

    Looking for something <\/span>to do during the May bank holidays<\/b>? Whether you\u2019re looking for a family getaway, a romantic relaxing trip or a wellness break, Provence never lets you down.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The region becomes a huge playground for the whole family, where kids and adults alike will be enchanted by walks in the countryside, activities and sightseeing. Treat yourself to some quality time <\/span>during a weekend awaya in France <\/b>with your other half. The programme includes: a candlelit dinner under the stars, a stroll hand in hand through the gardens, or a <\/span>spa treatment for two<\/span><\/a> for an indulgent moment together.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For a weekend of well-being during the May bank holidays, immerse yourself in a soothing atmosphere, where massages, relaxing baths and Mediterranean cuisine will awaken all your senses.<\/span><\/p>\n
