From cities to picturesque villages and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal clear waters of the Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille. Drive with the hood down through the lavender fields in Valensole. Try a bite of freshly baked fougasse, a Provencal classic. Marvel at the beautiful white Camargue horses native to the area. Located in the south of France, Provence is uniquely positioned to be a cultural blend of the Mediterranean. Roman monuments still prevail from the first century AD along with medieval castles: a varied heritage enlivened by native mimosas and cypresses.
Perhaps because the region is famous for its ability to inspire, it is home to numerous festivals such as Rencontre d'Arles, Festival d'Avignon, Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and others, all celebrating the arts. Artists who have praised the unique Provencal light include Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Alexandre Dumas and Jean Giono are among the writers who have had the passion to write in the shade of plane trees.
