In addition to the sights of the region, there are of course also the tastes. Highlights included daube de boeuf, crème caramel and this soupe de poisson in the small town of Fontvielle.
There is also plenty of fresh food in the region, such as in the market in the centre of Aix-en-Provence.
One cool thing in Arles was the Vincent Van Gogh tour. Old Vinnie spent 15 months in the town hoping to start an artists' colony, and painted some of his greatest works there.
As you walk around, there are displays of the Van Gogh paintings in the same location at which the original easel would have been placed. Here are a few examples.
Café Terrace at Night
Jardin de la Maison
Starry Night Over the Rhone
L'Entree de Jardin Public
L'Escalier du Pont de Trinquetaille
Well that's the end of our story of Provence in three acts. We hope you enjoyed it, cause we certainly did.
