The Provence Alpes Côtes d’Azur region is ideal for holidays in the country, the mountains or by the sea: Provence and the Alps lead you to discover southern landscapes, the grand canyon of Verdon, Mount Ventoux for the cultivation of lavender in the vast fields and the olive groves.
The Côte d’Azur, bathed in blue and in sunshine, is memorable for its deep rocky inlets, the wooded massif, the coastal roads, the Esterel massif, the Maures massif, the sea and its highly perched Alpilles or Lubéron villages and the Ardèche gorges.
Avignon and its Palais des Papes is also well worth a visit, as are Arles, Aix en Provence, Marseille, Nice and Cannes.
The culinary traditions of Provence and the Southern Alps are simple yet enthusiastic and captivate lovers of colourful, sun-filled cuisine. A treat for young and old alike: visit the regional natural parks of Camargue, Queyras and Verdon.
