Description
From the breathtaking heights of the Luberon, to the azure blue of the
Mediterranean coast, delight in the sight and scents of the lavender,
of pine trees wafting on the breeze and the taste of fruity wine and
fresh seafood.
Artists, painters, writers and discerning travellers from royalty to rock
stars have long been attracted by the region's bright light, perfect
climate and joie de vivre.
Take the road less travelled as you find out more about the
extraordinary range of places and people who've found inspiration in
the mountains and valleys, rocky coves and verdant islands.
