The Provence Glory coffee table book explores the cultural and natural landscape of southern France, from the coastal waters of Marseille to the lavender fields of Valensole. It covers Roman landmarks, medieval châteaus, and indigenous flora alongside the region's celebrated artistic heritage, featuring connections to Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso. The book also highlights Provence's literary tradition and its renowned festivals, including Festival d'Avignon and Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, weaving together history, art, and regional character across its pages.
From cities to quaint towns and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal clear waters of the Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille. Drive with the top down through fields of lavender in Valensole. Experience a bite of just-out-of-the-oven fougasse, a Provençal classic. Stand in awe of the beautiful, white Camargue horses native to the area. Located in the South of France, Provence is uniquely positioned to be a cultural blend of the Mediterranean. Roman landmarks still prevail from the 1st century AD alongside châteaus from medieval times-a varied legacy brightened by the indigenous mimosas and cypresses. Perhaps since the region is well-known for its ability to inspire, it's home to a plethora of festivals such as Rencontre d'Arles, Festival d'Avignon, Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and more, all celebrating the arts. Artists who have praised the unique Provençal light include Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Alexandre Dumas and Jean Giono are among the writers who were drawn to write in the shade of the plane trees. Provence Glory is a travel coffee table book that explores the heart of France, from cities to quaint towns and everything in between.
