However, there is something truly magical about Provence. Boasting an exceptionally varied, picturesque, sprawling, and wild landscape, Provence transforms endlessly as one roams and explores the region from its picture-perfect beaches and seaside resorts, to the towering and snow-capped peaks of the Alps, to the endless rolling fields of fragrant lavender, to the wild and majestic craggy valleys and gorges that cut through sections of the landscape, to the utterly idyllic and sleepy little villages sprinkled about the place. Often so lovely or wildly beautiful or both that it takes the breath away, this is a place to come for sun, fun, relaxation, great food and wine, adventure, and always, always, incredible surroundings. But the region’s charms themselves are not the only things that make Provence such an appealing holiday destination.
