Provence
is a region with a strong reputation as a place where life means
sitting back and relaxing by the pool or the sea, and enjoying the good
life in the beneath an azure sky. Whether it's for a year in
Provence or just a week, this is one of the French regions that people
from the north love to escape to. France's most truly Mediterranean
region is a land of bright blue skies, even in winter, of olive trees,
pastis, vineyards, wild rosemary and the scent of pine trees. But the
region also spreads right up to the Italian border, through the dry
ravined hills of the Mediterranean hinterland and the Provencal Alps.
On the coast, known as the "Cote d'Azur" to the French, and the "French
Riviera" to English-speakers, rocky shores give way here and there to
some of the world's most famous beaches, at Cannes, Nice or Saint
Tropez. Naturally, in summer the French Riviera is a very busy region,
yet at other times of the year - away from the cities of Marseille,
Toulon and Nice, it is less so.
There is a common belief that "Provence" means all of Mediterranean
France; it does not. West of the
Rhone delta, the area is known as
Languedoc.
The official Provence region only includes the departments of Bouches
du
Rhone, Var, Vaucluse, Alpes Maritimes & Alpes de Haute
Provence
