PET FRIENDLY TRAVEL TO THE PROVENCE
The Provence, for those that are unaware, is a region of southeastern France on the Mediterranean Sea - just adjacent to Italy! It is named Provence, because it was one of the first provinces outside of Rome, Italy!
Planning an international trip with pets is like planning to travel with small children but with some preparation and a few vet visits along with the necessary documentation; your furry friends will be right there beside you! Provence or the C4te d'Azuras is for many people the ultimate Mediterranean playground. The famous centers of Cannes, Nice, St. Tropez and the tiny principality of Monaco are still magnets for the rich and well-known beautiful people of the world. Its all here҅ escapade to keep you busy...there is definitely something here for everyone!

Pet friendly accommodation and places to stay in Provence
Provence has some excellent choices when it comes to accommodation including hotels, apartments and great villas. For the ultimate experience though, you cannot go past a luxury chateau in the hills! Go on; be king or queen for a while!
Try camping in the village of Bonnieux which has a great camping ground with a friendly playground nearby where dogs and kids can mingle and play together. Funnily enough- dogs are like kids, in that they talk to anyone regardless of what language they speak!
Pet friendly restaurants in Provence and cuisine
There are so many outdoor restaurants that serve meals such as pizza as well as the Provencal regional specialities- pistou and aioli are very well known. Try delicious crepes and wonderful ice ice-cream. Yes- you can order an extra one for you know who! Sip some great Provencal wine. Cheers!
Restaurant La Salicorne is a great fondue restaurant near the covered marketplace at Les Halles that boasts tasty little morsels for you and your pet! Yum!
When to go to Provence
Best times to enjoy Provence are from mid-April through October and there is a lot more going on in the summer months as the villages and towns host a variety of carnivals, small circuses and fairs.
