Attractions in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur
|
Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur, also called French Riviera or simply Riviera of France has a landscape
bathed in brilliant light, which inspired some of the world's great artists and writers, from
Van Gogh, Renoir, Matisse and Cezanne to Picasso and from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Pagnol. The museums
and galleries devoted to their work are a must for lovers of fine art.
The area of Provence has a combination of natural beauty, a superb Mediterranean climate and is a
world away from the luxurious Mediterranean resorts which lie a little over an hours drive to the
South on the French Riviera.
Nice, still retaining much of its Italian influence, offers a wealth of cultural attractions
along with the splendid Promenade des Anglais. Monaco, less than 1 square mile in size, is home
to royalty as well as Monte Carlo and its glittering Casino. Cannes hosts numerous international
festivals, Cannes is one of the most fashionable resorts on the Riviera and has many luxurious
hotels and boutiques. The narrow streets of St Tropez are filled with shops and cafés leading
down to the harbour packed with luxury yachts.

Food in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur
|
|
French gastronomy in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur is very distinctive from the rest of French cuisine
or French cooking. A Mediterranean influence brings recipes with hot spices and seafoods. Because of
the mountainous country, without the rich farmlands and herds of dairy cattle, Provencal cooking uses
very little milk, and goat cheeses are predominant. Garlic, olive oil and olives are the leitmotif
and the abundant"herbes de Provence" are the spirit of Beyond's Provencal recipes. In this Beyond region
there are areas with their own very distinctive styles, and even the more widely-know dishes have local
variations. Nice, for example, became a part of France just over a hundred years ago, and Nicois
cooking is special, good, well-respected and considered unique. Alpine regions, such as in the valleys
of the Roya, the Tinee, or the Var, have their unique specialties, different from Marseilles, with its
emphasis on seafoods such as the bouillabaisse.
