France: Provence

  Provence is one of the most popular places in France and all of Europe, and with a diverse offer of scenery ranging from snowy mountain peaks,aromatic and colourful lavender fields and a gorgeous beach at the heart of the famous French Riviera, it’s not difficult to understand why.Provence is basked in sun for 300 days a year, and the combination with the fine wine vineyards and the world-renown local cuisine makes it one of the most attractive spots to visit.
