Provence
The heart of Provence is in the hills that bind the sea to the alps. These are the sloping
vineyards; the cultivated lands and the colorful scenery that charmed Cezanne (Aix en
Provence), Van Gogh (Arles), Chagall or Giono. In Provence or the Midi the local people
have a soft singing accent which evokes their whole relaxed lifestyle. They have no greater
pleasure after a hard days work than to enjoy a delicious and hardy meal shared with
friends.....This is the picturesque Provence of Pagnol, Raimu, and Fernandel.
