About the Work

Provence, a region in the South of France, offers something for everyone from bustling cities to picturesque towns. Take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille or drive through fields of lavender in Valensole with the top down. Indulge in a Provençal classic, the just-out-of-the-oven fougasse or marvel at the beautiful white Camargue horses native to the region. The cultural blend of the Mediterranean is uniquely preserved in Provence with the presence of Roman landmarks from the 1st century AD and medieval châteaus, all brightened by the indigenous mimosas and cypresses. Provence is also renowned for inspiring a plethora of festivals, such as Rencontre d’Arles, Festival d’Avignon, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, and more, celebrating the arts. The region has attracted artists such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso who praised the unique Provençal light. It has also been a source of inspiration for writers including Alexandre Dumas and Jean Giono who wrote in the shade of the plane trees.
