Product Details

From towns to picturesque villages and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal-clear waters of Marseille's Calanque de Sormiou. Drive in a convertible through the lavender fields of Valensole. Savor a mouthful of freshly baked fougasse, a Provencal classic. Admire the magnificent white Camargue horses, native to the region. Located in the south of France, Provence is particularly well placed to be a cultural melting pot of the Mediterranean. Roman monuments from the 1st century AD still stand alongside castles from medieval times, a varied heritage brightened by native mimosa and cypress trees.

Perhaps because the region is well known for its ability to inspire, it is home to a plethora of festivals such as the Rencontre d'Arles, the Festival d'Avignon, the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and many others, all celebrating the arts. Among the artists who have praised the unique light of Provence are Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Alexandre Dumas and Jean Giono are among the writers who were drawn to write in the shade of the plane trees.
