"Once an ancient Roman province, Provence rests serenely between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a land of lavender, sunflowers, sun-drenched markets, Roman architecture, seaside villages, and cobblestone streets. It charmed the likes of Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Chagall. Les provenÇals speak a musical French that reflects their relaxed way of life and that the rest of France finds irresistible."
