Provence, a region in southeastern France bordering Italy and the Mediterranean Sea, is known for its diverse landscapes, rolling vineyards, olive groves, and lavender fields. To the south is the Côte d'Azur (or French Riviera), where the elegant city of Nice and glamorous resort towns such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes line the coast.  Famous for its wine especially rosé, food and sunny dry hot summers.  It is a place of beauty we should all be fortunate enough to visit at least once.
