Provence - Roman Heritage

Provence, deriving is name from the Roman Provincia Gallia, is the region between the Côte d'Azur and the Rhone delta, stretching inland to the foothills of the Alps in the East and to the plateau of the Ardèche in the West.

It has been said that Provence is more a state of mind than a distinct geographical area - the olive trees, fields of lavender and sunflowers, and the sunshine give a mediterranean feeling.
