This land of contrasts is the image of the Mediterranean south, unique in its colours and landscapes: olive groves, vineyards, Provençal garrigue and rocky cliffs.
With its mix of terroir and tradition, Provence is sure to surprise you! Here, the art of living promises a wealth of riches.
A creative culinary culture
Provence has a refined taste for the high-quality local produce that makes it such a rich region. Olive oil, sun-drenched vegetables, honey, Camargue rice, truffles… The dishes of the south are warm and colourful. You’ll never be disappointed by the surprising and unusual combinations of this local cuisine.
To accompany these dishes, Provence offers great wines made from Mediterranean grape varieties that come into their own on the dry, sunny hillsides.
Indulge your taste buds and discover a creative and inspiring cuisine.
A culture of authenticity and enhancement
Provence is home to a number of Regional Nature Parks designed to protect and enhance its various rural areas. Mountain ranges, hilltop villages, wild landscapes, cultural heritage, protected areas… the Alpilles, Lubéron, Camargue and Ventoux Regional Nature Parks are all full of diversity.
Provence is a land of discovery and change of scenery!
A unique and ancestral heritage
Provence has inherited an exceptional heritage built by the Romans and the Christians. Both urban and rural, the region’s major cities are home to a wealth of heritage from the past and the present. The City of the Popes in Avignon, the Mucem in Marseille, the thermal baths in Aix-en-Provence or the ancient theatre in Arles… Provence has many stories to tell.
It’s also a creative land, cradled by a passionate and sparkling culture that keeps it vibrant throughout the year: ferias, the Avignon Festival, the santon market, photographic encounters… joy and sharing are the order of the day!
Surrender to the sun and warmth of Provence. You’ll never be disappointed by its great cultural and social diversity. A real source of positive energy, you’ll share moments of real joy!
