1 ~~~ The prettiest places to visit in Provence
Where to stop and what to see in the beautiful French region of Provence
How to chart Provence on a map? It is hard to comprehend and prone to fuzzy theories about which mountains hem it in, which topography traces its rims. French regional maps will be no help. To the south, Provence flows clearly into the Mediterranean, but head north, through the Drôme region, and the uncertainty begins.
Provence is seeking to unify the lands on which its spirit thrives: Italy, Spain and the Meditarranean. It flows everywhere: in the splice of a knife slicing a lemon, the velvet wings of an eagle, the cries of fun and fright in Camargue’s manade bull ranches, the sweep of a corniche cliff road and the babble of a daube provençal stew. This is where the Provence landscape is epitomised. Every inch of it is associated with food and eating. But meals don’t go down here as they do in Paris and Naples. There is gusto here; voracity. Eating is a language in itself.
