Known as the City of Art, Light and Activity, Provence is a year-round optimal destination. A Celtic-Ligurian capital from the 3rd century BC, it wasn’t until 1182 that the Counts of Provence took it as their home, and Provence became known for its refined and literate court. King René who ruled during Aix’s golden age (1408-80), brought art, theatre, literature and the Muscat grape. Today you can visit Chateauneufdu-Pape where French vineyards started 2,600 years ago! The Southeastern French gastronomy of Provence-Alpes Cotê d’Azur has an alluring Mediterranean flare featuring recipes with hot spices and seafood, and the Herbes de Provence are the spirit of Beyond !s Provencal recipes. Those who prefer to be outdoors will find the options vast and breathtaking. From ballooning, bungee jumping and hang gliding, to cycling, diving and spelunking, the options are endless. While sight-seeing consider tours of the Abbeys and Chapels, Bridges and Dams and of course, the museums and ruins. Don’t be surprised if the cafés allow their aromas to dance the streets, and beckon you in to enjoy the local flavors. Bon Appétit!
