A Little Bit About Provence-Alpes-Côte D'azur

The Alpilles is a range of hills situated just south of Avignon in Provence neighbouring Luberon in an area made famous by the writer Peter Mayle, author of ‘A year in Provence’.
In the area around St Remy de Provence, artists such as Van Gogh, Matisse, Cezanne and Chabaud were captivated by the brilliant light and reflections of the hills and nearby rivers, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Provence is littered with holiday cottages making your visit the perfect HomeAway.
Flamingos, wild white horses, bulls and many other species congregate in the nearby Camargue which is a destination for nature lovers.
Cyclists will consider the challenge of Mont Ventoux whilst Historians can marvel at the amphitheatres in Nimes, Arles and Orange as well as the important roman remains at Glanum and Les Baux. Avignon and the Palais du Papes and the famous bridge is little more than 10 minutes away.
Wine lovers are at the foot of the Rhone in an area where Cotes de Provence Rose is produced and Chateauneuf du Pape is just 15 minutes away.
For the active, there are plenty of walks amongst the hills, bikes to hire and horse riding whilst the village has a large sports area and a tennis club.
For those who simply like the finer things in life, the bustling St Remy de Provence (once voted the 2nd most favourite place to live in the world) with markets twice weekly is under 10 minutes away and is brimming with boutique shops and restaurants. If this is just too busy, head for the beautiful village of Eygalieres for a coffee in the village. If it’s good enough for Hugh Grant…
For motoring enthusiasts, access the area via the Tarn Gorge leaving the Autoroute at the Millau Bridge and eventually heading to the lovely town of Uzes. It is simply stunning and very few lorries/busses can get along there!
