Provence is a popular destination for holiday makers and buyers looking to buy a property in Provence. We have many articles on Provence as it is loved by all - if you want to read more about Provence - got to our Provence section on the site. Here is an extract from article by Sophie Young in My French Life. Festival d’Avignon
By serendipity and lack of research, our visit to Avignon coincided with the Festival d’Avignon, a famous annual performing arts festival. The town was buzzing as we walked up the main street from the train station into the walled city. Posters plastered every vertical surface, advertising an array of shows en français. Le Pont du Gard
The grand and impressive bridge is part of a 50km-long Roman aqueduct running through the south of France, built in the first century AD. It was a scorching morning so,we took a plunge off the base of the ancient bridge into the freezing river below. Refreshed, we set off towards Gordes. The winding road to Gordes turns a corner and suddenly reveals a stunning stone village piled into the hill across the valley. Gordes
By its own admission Gordes is ‘one of the most beautiful villages of France’. In this case the self-proclaimed accolade is spot on. Set on a plateau, the village really is spectacular. We did a little shopping in the village, poked our heads into a beautiful church and climbed crumbling stone steps up to a panorama of the Provençal countryside.
