My aunt is going to Provence, France for 15-18 days next summer and she said that I can go with if I want to. I’m 19 and I’m not sure if that’s somewhere I’d like to go or if there’s enough to do there for that long. Should I go?
Should I go to Provence, France?

You are SO lucky!
Provence is one of the prettiest part of France. It is warm and sunny in the summer. There are flowers and lavender everywhere. The coastal area is famous all over the world ( French riviera/Côte d’Azur, Nice, Cannes, Monaco) and people go there for the beaches, the shopping and the likelihood of meeting celebrities.The sea is an amazing blue and so warm. There are plenty of activities and opportunities for young people: clubs, discos, etc… You can window shop for hours too.
Inland it is full of quaint villages and wonderful old towns. There is so much to see and do.Everywhere there are major tourist destinations because it is an area that has such a long history. There are Roman arenas and monuments still standing , medieval buildings, varied architecture. Towns like Aix-en -Provence, Avignon , Arles are stunning. There are wonderful museums and art galleries. Painters and artists have flocked to that region for years because it is so picturesque and the light is so special.
15-18 days? The time will pass so quickly you will wish you could stay longer.
All you have to do is Google Provence and you will find lots to read about it and pictures to see.
It is the chance of a lifetime: go!
