By making Avignon their home, the Popes left an indelible mark on the entire region, from Avignon to Roquemaure, and forged a shared destiny. Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, although on French soil, quickly became the Popes’ holiday resort, with fifteen palaces and gardens flourishing here!

The Luberon is a Provencal painting bursting with colour! Red in Roussillon and its Colorado, lavender as far as the eye can see and the yellow stones of France’s most beautiful villages. All aboard for a postcard visit!

A delta where river and sea meet… The Camargue is 100,000 hectares and 75 km of coastline, home to a wealth of wildlife that must be preserved. Pink flamingos, horses and Camargue bulls are its most emblematic representatives. These canals, marshes, fields and rice paddies are the birthplace of age-old skills that are still passed down from generation to generation.
A land of migration for birds, the Camargue is a strategic observation point for birdwatchers. To discover this unique ecosystem, take the time to explore the Camargue Regional Nature Park. It’s open to all, so you can approach its fragile flora and fauna with great care and respect.
Whatever the season, the Giant of Provence will beckon. Whether you’re a cyclist, biosphere enthusiast, hiker or snowshoer, set out to conquer this lunar mountain. A small step for Man that will take you further than you can imagine…
