Surviving the heat in Provence? Easy! In summer, between the song of the cicadas and colorful markets, you just need to adopt a few good habits to fully enjoy your vacation without suffocating.
01
Activities to stay cool
Pace your day according to the heat
When it's hot, we save ourselves, we don't move too much: a treasure hunt in the morning, a game of pétanque in the shade of the plane trees, we take the little train to avoid walking up to the citadel. We go out earlier (and rather) in the morning and evening when it's cool. Standing up in there, you'll take a nap this afternoon!
02
The essential for a walk
Stay hydrated!
We drink a lot of water, regularly, all day long and we motivate those who don't think about it or aren't thirsty, Think about the water bottle! Depending on where you are, there is not always water available in the wilderness.
03
Good reflexes when faced with heat
Protect yourself from the sun!
The best protection is shade, but if you can't do otherwise, put on sunscreen, wear a big hat, a nice cap and cover yourself up: a t-shirt prevents sunburn on your shoulders... and you'll sleep much better!
04
You're not the only one feeling hot
Take care of your dog
A small plastic bowl will allow you to give your dog a drink in all circumstances. Avoid roads for walks, with the heat, the tar could burn his pads.
05
A cool house all day long
Close, ventilate, and keep cool
Ventilate well in the morning, early enough, before the sun rises to let the fresh air in and then close the shutters and windows to keep the freshness during the day. And only open in the evening...
06
Fresh and relaxed
Be zen!
The angrier you get, the hotter it gets! Take advantage of the heat to relax, in other words, take a nap if you can, even a 10-minute power nap can help you unwind. Need to unwind? We've got you covered here !
