Provence offers so many wonderful things to do and has many experiences to offer. Depending on how long you have to visit, I will highlight the top 3 things to do while visiting the region:
The ancient stone village of Les Baux: Les Baux is one of the most visited destinations in all of France for a good reason. This location has been inhabited since 6000 BC. During the Middle Ages Les Baux was a central location for some of the most powerful lords in all of Southern France. Les Baux consists of a church, a castle and many ancient streets carved out of stone. This is all sitting on top of a hill that has cliffs overlooking amazing vineyards and olive groves. This destination is truly one of the most amazing spots in Provence. ARIES: Whether you are looking to watch bull fighting or visit ancient Roman ruins, Aries has you covered and much more. Even though this city was the inspiration for many of Van Goghs paintings, its history dates back to both the Celtics and the Greeks. Later it sprung up as a great Roman city that was influential in backing Ceaser instead of Pompey. The main attraction in Aries is a 20,000 seat roman amphitheare. This magnificent structure once hosted epic gladiator battles in front of packed crowds. Now you can get the same experience except instead of gladiators you can see the city erupt in cheers each spring when the bull-fighting season begins. Calanques at Cassis: If you are headed to Provence for the beach experience than you need to stop by the beach at Calanques at Cassis. To get to the beach you will need to stroll through the town which has buildings and architecture that dates back to the 16th century. The magnificent beaches are a great contrast next to the limestone cliffs and sheltered inlets that give the city its name. This beach is not nearly as crowded as most of the Riviera beaches, the combination of the spectacular city and the beach make this a must see destination.
