Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur

With its feet in the Mediterranean and its head in the Alps, the region has an extensive palette of colorful landscapes.

Provence, the Midi, these are magical names in a luminous landscape that inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne, and changed the course of modern painting. They have also created a new current in contemporary travel.
