Hotels in Au Vent, Saint-Barthelemy
Au Vent is a coastal region in southeastern France, famous for its powerful mistral winds and lavender fields. The climate features hot summers averaging 85°F (29°C), perfect for windsurfing on the Mediterranean, and mild winters around 50°F (10°C), ideal for hiking the Calanques National Park's limestone cliffs. The region splits into two areas: the windy coast where you can sail from Saint-Raphaël, and the lavender plateau near Valensole, best visited in July for the blooming season and distillery tours.
