A fascinating mixture of nature, history and architecture in this region that was so influenced and shaped by the Romans and Greeks in past centuries…. Arles, of Greek origin, boasts an almost perfectly preserved Roman Amphitheatre, while the splendid fortified port town of Aigues-Mortes is a maze of small cobbled streets around a central square—still enclosed by medieval walls. Beautiful, quiet and the ideal place to relax and unwind.... Les Baux and St Rémy de Provence are stunningly beautiful country villages with gorgeous boutiques and atmospheric cafés where you can stop and linger for a while, soaking up the atmosphere. Under the warm Provence sun, many artists - Cezanne, Van Gogh , Picasso, Matisse were inspired by the dazzling light that bathes the area.
