| You are here: Hotel Reviews >> France >> Provence |
Provence is to be found in the sunny south east corner of France, with the Mediterranean Sea to its south and its mountains dropping down to the sea, the region is fundamentally rural and covers an area of more than 18,650sq miles or 30,000sqkm with a population of around 4.25million. Provence’s climate is the mildest in France. The summers are hot and for the most part dry, the winters by the coast are mild and warm. The villages perched on the hilltops, many of which have now been restored, with their cobbled streets, archways and steps are undoubtedly of architectural interest. These villages date back to the Middle Ages when they were built around castle keeps, enclosed by thick stone walls, a good example of this being the village of St Paul-de-Vence, a popular sight-seeing destination.
