Pretty property in Provence

Provence has always proved popular with Brits wanting to buy French property thanks to its sunny climate and beautiful landscape.

The region in the south of France offers both beaches for the sun worshippers and vineyards for the wine lovers and is an ideal place for French property investment.

Even more attractive are the beautiful villages and quintessentially French towns dotted across the region which provide entertainment and fun to all who visit.

Head to La Fete de la Tarasque

One such town in the Provence region is Tarascon which is steeped in history and legend and is an ideal spot to take the family for a day out.

Those who fancy getting a real taste of what the town has to offer can attend the Fete de la Tarasque when the area comes alive with music, dance and theatre.

The death of a dragon

The festival celebrates the legend that gives the town its name in which a terrible dragon was said to have lived in the depths of the Rhone and eat children who passed over it.

These events were said to have finally come to an end with the arrival of Sainte Marthe and local people celebrate this each year with a four day street party.

La Fete de la Tarasque is held on the last weekend of June and sees hundreds of people head down and celebrate the death of the dragon.
