Where in Provence?

Yes - Provence is chic and great but tell me more about the living in this region and the Provence lifestyle. Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur is made up of Var, Vaucluse, Bouches-du-Rhone and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Alpes-Maritimes. A much varied landscape offering something for everybody and as a little bonus this year Taxes (TVA) for cafés and restaurants in France were lowered at the beginning of this summer (2009) from 19.6% to 5.5%.

So in today's post, let's introduce Var. As the gateway to the Cote d’Azur and the Verdon Gorges, the Var offers various landscapes, its sunny Mediterranean climate provides residents with an exceptional quality of life. Boasts of 300 km of shoreline on the Mediterranean Sea. Beautiful sandy beaches, wild cliffs plunging straight into the sea, protected islands like Porquerolles, well known beach resorts such as St Tropez, St Raphael, Ste Maxime, and  Bormes les Mimosas.
