Provence in June
Provence is a huge area in southern
France that extends from Montelimar to the

Maries de la Mere in the Rhone River Delta.
This region of mostly rolling agricultural land
has many Roman ruins some still integral
parts of the later Medieval walled cities like
Roman-built Arles and the one-time capital,
Aix-en-Provence.
Villages and large towns like Solon de
Provence, home of Nostradamus, St. Remy,
haunt of the Impressionist painters, Aix and
Arles are walled cities with a great history ;
Roman aqueducts, coliseum-like arenas,
Roman theatres, and Gothic and
Renaissance castles are everywhere. House
rentals can be found in every village and can
be located on the web.
