Bon Vivants, Roman History, discovers a stunning variety
Food and Art in a of landscapes. Provence
“soft and tender” light includes:
“…fields of lavender, ancient
olive groves, cliff-top roads,
maquis-cloaked hills and
even snow-tipped mountains
… highlighted by Europe’s
deepest canyon, oldest road
and highest pass and then
there is the Mediterranean
Sea itself, a bright mirror of
blue reflecting back craggy
cliffs, white beaches and
endless skies.”

I n Provence, the hills bind the sea to the Alps and the outdoors is a
natural amusement park. Locals and visitors alike can be found in
kayaks in the rivers, hot-air balloons in the skies, and bon vivants in
the vineyards, but the most rewarding hours are spent at the dining
table, spearing rabbit and prunes while gazing at the countryside.
