INTRODUCING PROVENCE
Provence's top sights span the region's rich and varied history, from Roman
arenas, isolated abbeys, and the palace of the medieval popes, to the more re-
cent opulence of the
belle époque
era and the glamorous resorts beloved of
the 20th-century jet set. Sunsoaked beaches, pretty villages nestled among
lavender fields and a mountainous hinterland have inspired generations of
artists, and continue to enchant every visitor to the area.
