A day in Florence

In the heart of Tuscany, FLORENCE

Last January, we spent a few days in Tuscany, researching oils for Trésor d'Olive. Every corner of the region is evocative of beauty: the olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see, the estates surrounded by cypress trees, the roads zigzagging between the sun-drenched hills...

After enjoying these sumptuous landscapes, it was already time to head back to Provence. But we couldn't possibly leave Italy without first spending a day in Florence!

Join us on an afternoon stroll to discover Florence.

Have a coffee PIAZZA DEL DUOMO

We started the day with a coffee at the foot of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Seated at the foot of Florence's famous dome, we were able to admire this architectural masterpiece and its famous green, pink, and white marble at our leisure.

Getting lost in the maze of alleys

Head into the old town and don't hesitate to get lost in the maze of alleyways.

In Florence, it's important to keep your eyes wide open as you wander around. The city is rich in details, and surprises lurk behind every door or around every street corner.

Cradle of the RENAISSANCE

Take a stroll around Piazza della Signoria, where you can admire numerous statues dating back to the Italian Renaissance. Head inside the Palazzio Vecchio and discover its gallery of arcaded vaults.

Don't hesitate to take a short break to taste some typical Florentine pastries!

Contemplate the light SO SPECIAL

Every city has its own unique light, and Florence is known for its unique light. Let yourself be enveloped by this soft, slightly golden glow, which gives the city its incredible charm.

Old art rubs shoulders with new on every street corner.

Stroll along the ARNO RIVER

The Arno is the famous river that runs through Florence. If you have time, take the opportunity to stroll along the quays, cross the bridges, and soak up the city's soul.

Obligatory passage on the PONTE VECCHIO

It's impossible to visit Florence without visiting the unmissable Ponte Vecchio. A vestige of Florentine medieval times, it has become the city's true emblem.
