Drome Provencale:

The up and coming area where many French vacation. Pretty much an extension of the Haut Vaucluse with historic wine villages, vineyards, lavender fields and the rolling green hills of the Pre-Alpes. To the east are les Baronnies, the baronial lands, a rugged, sparsely populated landscape with villages where gentrification has not yet arrived.

Many visit Grignan and its château (Madame Sévigné) and the historic villages in the area, like Poet Laval with its Knights Hospitalers (Maltese Knights) fortifications.

The Triumphal Arch of Orange

The Triumphal Arch was built at the beginning of the first century AD, outside of the city wall. Coming from the North, on Via Agrippa (Agrippa's road) it said that you were arriving in Arausio, a city built by Veterans of the Second Gallic Legion.

La Camargue!

Very different from everything you'll see in Provence. A bit too tourstic for my taste (souvenir shop and fortune teller), but very beautifull with a bohemian feeling. Go on sunday, you'll catch the fiesta, the meeting at the church Ste-Maries and maybe a corrida. But on monday and friday, you'll catch the market. Learn about the mythic creation of the city by 3 Maries (the city is called Stes-Maries-de-la-Mer, or holly Mary of the sea) and the action of the sea on the land.
