French Provence embodies the sensual southern part of France, a past of friends, Romans, countrymen, bullfighters, artists (like the once loathed son Cezanne) and heavenly herby dishes on sunset infused terraces, romantic flowered towns like Aix, Arles, Avignon, Saint Remy, Mougins, and Marseilles. Sample a little ‘provencal’ faire at Villa Gallici or Cafe des Deux Garcons. Depart your pier for Biot and its lauded glass making factory. Walk the ancient Roman agora-style circus square, lined on two sides by arcaded covered walkways. Take in a hilltop village that dates to the Middle Ages, Le Beaucet, sitting serenely in the Vaucluse hills under the once-watchful gaze of its medieval castle. On to Cote d'azur!
