Provence Côte d'Azur
Provence är en region i den soliga, sydöstra hörnan av Frankrike. Det egentliga Provence sträcker sig från parfymbyn Grasse i öst till Rhône-dalen i väst, från de alpina alper i norr till Medelhavet i söder. Även om det geografiskt sett inte är helt korrekt, så räknas den franska Rivieran i dag också till Provence, som då omfattar departementerna: Bouches-du-Rhône, Vaucluse, Var, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence och Alpes-Maritimes. Dessutom har vi valt att tage med departementen Drôme och Ardèche under området Provence-Côte d´Azur, då många av våra semesterboenden här ligger nära den naturliga gränsen för Provence-Côte d´Azur.

Avignon is one of the most exciting cities in southern France.
The inner city is still today enclosed by its 5 km fortification walls with 39 towers and 7 gates. Inside the walls is a city with a very rich culture, its own opera and university, schools for foreigners and several theatre troops. The city’s historical centre has, since 1995, been on UNESCO’s list of world heritage.
The city’s greatest sight is without any doubt the mighty Palace of the Popes, high above the Rhône river.
Due to unrest and anarchy, the Popes preferred Avignon to Rome for almost a hundred years (1309-77). It takes around one hour to wander through the Palace with its two sections, the old Palace built by Pope Benedict XII between 1334 and 1342, and the new Palace, founded by Benedict’s successor, Pope Clemens VI, and completed in 1348. The difference in style is quite visible. The old part has an almost monastic purity and simplicity while the new part is opulently decorated with fantastic fresco works and richly ornamented ceilings.Next to the Palace of the Popes is the 12th century cathedral, Notre-Dame-des-Doms, where Pope Johannes XXII is buried.
The cathedral has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, but it has retained its original simple style. In the 19th century the golden Virgin Mary was placed at the top of its tower.
Another famous sight is Pont St-Benezet from the beginning of the 12th century and immortalized in the children’s song Sur le Pont d’Avignon.
Today only 4 of the original 22 arches exist.
One must also mention the St.
Didier church which was the biggest church built in Avignon during the Papacy and which style-wise was strongly influenced by Pope Benedict’s old Palace. Here one can find a renaissance work of Francesco Laurana as well as a hexagonal pulpit placed in the centre of the church as an illustration of the very important role of the sermon in the 14th century. Musée Calvet, which houses a big collection of art from the 14th to the 20th century is also well worth a visit. David, Gericault, Delacroix, Corot and Manet are just a few of the very important artists, represented here.Avignon is a city where culture takes priority.
The city’s past is, in many ways, immortalized and celebrated in the big theatre festivals in July with theatre, mime and cabaret. The festivals were initiated in 1947 by Jean Vilar and reflect the city’s ancient culture. They are today some of the most important cultural events in Europe.Vi har 8 semesterhuse i eller nära Avignon
