Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh all found inspiration in the
light and colours of Provence, and these undeniable assets mean its lands have
been inhabited since pre-history. Its capital, Marseille,
is France's largest and busiest port, whose rebellious natives marched on Paris
during the Revolution, singing what is now the country's national anthem, La
Marseillaise.
Provence's Riviera has
long been known as a vacation destination for the chic and well-to-do. Cannes
hosts global celebrities during its annual film festival,
Nice's cache of art amounts to numerous
important museums and Saint-Tropez's
boutiques and nightclubs offer high fashion and cool entertainment. Inland,
Grasse's singular
climate supports several delicate varieties of flowers, spearheading France's
perfume industry, medieval Mougins'
restaurants combine coastal and mountain cuisine and Gordes
features a curious village inhabited since the Bronze Age. An ancient Roman
amphiteatre remains the setting for bullfights in Arles,
and the walled city of Avignon
was once home to the papacy. Beauty, history and culture are all in the promise
of Provence.
