Today, we’d like to take you with us to visit Notre-dame-de-la-Garde. This iconic monument in Marseille is overlooking the Old Port from above a 149m high peak. Also called La Bonne Mère, this 1864 Romano-byzantine style basilica is said to be looking after sailors and fishermen. You will surely appreciate the grace of the construction

Winter is actually quite a good time to head to mythic St Tropez. You may not lie in the sun in a bikini the way Brigitte Bardot did in the famous Roger Vadim’s film “Et Dieu créa la femme” but you will enjoy way more of it than during summer time. First and mainly you

Oh, we love that one! February is the month of festivals and carnivals on the Riviera. Our favourite one is no doubt the Menton’s citrus festival. Each year the city builds humongous sculptures with lemons and oranges on a new theme.  An exhibit is set for 2 weeks in the Bioves Gardens so visitors can

These beautiful limestone cliffs offer all the irregularities and tricks a rock climber can dream of. They culminate

The oldest French city is an open book. Walls address the visitor and reveal the soul of neighborhoods. Inhabitants express their art, mood and personality on the façades of Marseille. Colourful walls surprise tourists and locals alike around each corner of the streets. Among old stones, murals address the sea. Telling stories, expressing grieves or

OK, this is one of our favourite must-see shows in Provence. At the foot of the village of Les Baux de Provence lay limestone quarries. No longer in use, they host a one-of-a-kind light and sound show featuring the greatest artists worldwide. The white stones were used to build the castle and the city of

Living in Provence, we like time to time to go on the footsteps of some of the greatest artists who lived here. Today we opted for Vincent Van Gogh and went to the monastery of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole. A place he chose to be admitted in at some point in his agitated life as he was looking

On our way to the medieval village of Les Baux de Provence we can’t help but stop in Saint Remy de Provence to admire the marvellous archeological site of Glanum. This Greek city nested in the beautiful National Parc of the Alpilles was very prosperous under the reign of Roman Emperor Auguste. It was dedicated
