PROVENCE GLORY BOOK

DESCRIPTION

From cities to quaint towns and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal clear waters of Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille. Drive with the roof down through the lavender fields of Valensole. Enjoy a bite of freshly baked fougasse, a Provençal classic. Be amazed by the magnificent white Camargue horses native to the region. Located in the south of France, Provence is uniquely positioned for being a cultural mix of the Mediterranean. Roman monuments still prevail from the 1st century AD alongside castles from medieval times – a varied heritage brightened by native mimosas and cypresses.

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