"Noble and gentle!" France by prleprle

France Travel Guide: 68,504 reviews and 147,929 photos

Southern France is one of those special places in the world that has unique combination and mix of nature, climate, history and artistic legacies. Provence is must visit but Languedoc Roussillon have also a lot to offer! I spent only a few great days in late April few years ago and want to get back there one day! Well, you should have on mind that region (especially Provence) is really touristy region and always overcrowded. Here you will find short overview of Montpellier, Avignon (my favorite) and classy Cannes.
