Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is the region in southeastern France that embodies the Mediterranean dream. It is a land of dazzling contrasts, stretching from the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the turquoise coves of the Calanques, passing through the iconic lavender fields of the interior. Its light and vibrant colors seduced masters such as Van Gogh and Cézanne. The region combines the glamor of cities such as Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez with the rustic charm of villages perched on hills, the ancient history of Roman cities such as Arles and the port bustle of its capital, Marseille. It is a destination that has it all: sun, sea, mountains, art, history and exceptional gastronomy.
