PROVENCE & THE FOOD OF FRANCE “The Provence region of France not only boasts a rich cultural and culinary heritage but also serves as a haven for art enthusiasts. Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes and the region’s unique charm, Provence has been a muse for countless artists, including the famed Vincent van Gogh, who found solace and inspiration in its sun-drenched fields and quaint villages.
