Hiking and biking in Provence are great ways to
see the farm country and meet a few of the
locals. If you rent a house or vacation rental
apartment in Provence you can hike through
the narrow cobbled streets of your village and
then into the hills on networks of  trails through
the groves and vineyards for the hike to the next
village. May and particularly June or
September and October are good times to go
because In July and August most Europeans
have extended vacations an the area could be
crowded. Also, the hills might be closed in July
and August due to fire danger.
Hiking to a village on market day will give you a
look at the fruits and vegetables that come to
market. Vendors bring low-fat crushed olive
tapinades spiced with garlic and basil, the fresh
pistou and fresh  fruits, goat cheese, olive oil
and wine  to the markets. Market day can
provide a picnic lunch for the trip to the next
village.
In the Luberon Mountains , the Alpilles , and
Vaucluse Plateau, the villages are usually no
more than six to ten miles apart and connected
by country roads
