Provence has three distinct landscapes. Imagine the Mediterranean sea, the French Alpes, and the lavender fields of Aix-en-Provence all in one region!
The Mediterranean seaside:
The Côte d'Azur,the famous French Riviera which stretches from Hyères to Menton is a beautiful and enchanting coastal area. The cities and coastline abound with first class hotels, restaurants, chic boutiques, private beaches and luxury homes. The coast also includes the great ports of Marseilles, Toulon and Nice, all three have been and continue to be France's gateway to Africa.
Provence :
The heart of Provence lies 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.The Alpes :
Skiing one hour from the seaside? Well yes! Here you can do it! The Alpes d'Azur rise high above the city of Nice up to 4000m. . ....Clean pure air and vast protected lands, this is still Provence with the Alpes of Haute Provence and the Hautes Alpes. In the winter there is sunny skiing, in the summer one can explore on horseback, on foot or by bike.Information / Reservation: Call Toll free in the US and Canada 1-866-427-4882 or email us at
