Start a life in stunning Provence

If you want to get a true taste of rural historic France then Provence is the place to buy your dream French property.

Whether you decide to buy a retirement home there or simply somewhere to holiday from time to time there is always going to be plenty of new things to see and try.

The stunning region dates back to around 120 BC when it was part of the Provincia Romana and successively different possessions took place as several ancient Germanic peoples including the Visigoths, the Ostrogoths and the Frankish kings all took control.

Provence itself comprises the departments of Alpes de Haute, Var and Bouches du Rhone as well as certain parts of the departments of Vaucluse and Alpes Maritimes and there are dozens of activities designed to keep locals busy every day of the week.

In Aix en Provence there is an old book market held on the first Sunday of every month while in early April visitors can be entertained at the Tambourin Festival or Festamb.

Over the Easter weekend, bull fights are held in Arles while in mid-May you will see dozens heading to Grasse for the Rose perfume festival.

Another popular event is the Provencal Festival in Avignon which takes place in the first three weeks of July.
