"The Drive Around" series provides you with a comprehensive but flexible reference source as you tour a country or region by car. This guide divides Provence into touring areas - one per chapter. Major cultural centres or cities form chapters in their own right. The best of Provence is included, from the landscapes that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne to the glitzy resorts of the Mediterranean and the magnificent remains of Arles, Nimes and Orange. Each chapter contains enough attractions to provide at least a day's worth of activities - often more - and has an introduction that sums up the main attractions and a ratings box. It is then divided into an alphabetical gazetteer and a suggested tour. In every chapter you will find lodging and eating recommendations for individual towns, or for the area as a whole. A locator map in the introduction to the book shows the position of the tours. Among the tours are: the sights of Avignon, the olive groves and hilly countryside of upper and southern Vaucluse, the natural wildlife and amazing scenery of the Carmague, France's second largest city Marseille, the western coast, the Alpes, St-Tropez peninsula, the Esterel coast, Cannes, Nice, Monaco and the coastline of the Riviera.
