Provence is a magical place for family photography. From soft natural light to breathtaking landscapes and charming villages, this region offers the perfect backdrop to capture your family’s most precious moments.
Whether you’re visiting or local, here are my top 5 favorite family photo locations in Provence. Ideal for timeless, elegant portraits with a refined editorial style.
Lavender Fields (If in Season)
Lavender fields are an iconic symbol of Provence and a dream setting for family photos.
The best time to visit is from late June to mid-July when the lavender is in full bloom. The vibrant purple hues and endless rows of flowers create a stunning, natural backdrop that adds softness and romance to your portraits.
From the endless lavender fields of Valensole to the historic Abbaye de Sénanque, the rustic charm of Sault, the hilltop villages of the Luberon like Gordes and Roussillon, and the hidden gems of Drôme Provençale, Provence offers the most iconic settings for romantic wedding photos surrounded by lavender.
L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue
Known as the “Venice of Provence,” L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue features charming canals, colorful markets, and narrow cobblestone streets.
This picturesque village offers a perfect mix of rustic charm and elegance, ideal for a refined editorial family session filled with natural light and authentic moments.
Gordes
Perched on a hilltop, Gordes is one of Provence’s most beautiful villages with its golden stone houses and panoramic views.
The village’s timeless architecture and stunning surroundings make it an exceptional location for creating elegant and memorable family portraits.

Perched high on a rocky plateau, Les Baux-de-Provence is one of the most breathtaking villages in the South of France. With its medieval charm, panoramic views of the Alpilles, and narrow stone streets, it offers a dramatic and timeless backdrop for family photos.
Whether you're exploring the castle ruins or strolling through sun-drenched alleys, this location is ideal for families seeking beauty, history, and elegance in one place.
