Book Provence Glory

Provence Glory book by Assouline, an ode to Provence with a beautiful lilac cover perfect for adding a pastel touch to your Decoration interior.

From cities to picturesque villages and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal clear waters of the Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille. Drive through lavender fields in Valensole. Taste a bite of freshly baked fougasse, a Provencal classic. Admire the beautiful white Camargue horses native to the region. Located in the south of France, Provence occupies a unique position as a cultural mix of the Mediterranean. Roman monuments still dominate from the 1st century A.D. alongside castles from the medieval era - a varied heritage brightened by native mimosas and cypress trees.

Perhaps best known for its ability to inspire, the region hosts a plethora of festivals such as the Rencontre d'Arles, the Festival d'Avignon, the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and more, all celebrating the arts. Artists who have praised the unique Provencal light include Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso. Alexandre Dumas and Jean Giono are among the writers drawn to write in the shade of the plane trees.
