Provence
Provence is one of Europe’s top travel destinations, and it is not difficult to see why so many have flocked to these parts; among those who have been inspired include Cezanne who was enchanted by Provence’s naturally brilliant vivid colours. Besides from the scent of lavender wafting from the fields – augmented by the local cuisine of renowned dishes such as tapenade, ratatouille, bouillabaisse, fougasse lardon and olives, delicious mediterranean fish – you might ask why this region is deemed to be so special, even for the French? The history of the region is even older than the country of France itself: beginning with the Phocaean Greeks around 600 bc, Roman civilizations later flourished in this region, and the wealth of the area arguably derives from this historical period - and they left some roman architectural emblems such as the amphitheater at orange, or the Pont du Gard aqueduct, the arenas at Arles or Nimes.
