PEOPLE OF PROVENCE

The people of Provence are traditional and sociable and love the finer things in life. They embody what we imagine as the idealized French art of living "savoir vivre". On market days farmers discuss vegetable prices in the village square. The old gentlemen of the village sit by the fountain enjoying Café and Pastis in the beautiful weather while discussing agriculture, sports and politics. Protected from the sun by large sycamores people play boules. The Mediterranean temperament of the Provence people is visible and audible in restaurants and streets alike with a lively hustle and bustle that can be felt everywhere. 

With great enthusiasm, joie de vivre and a lot of serenity, the people of Provence live their everyday life while staging themselves. You feel a deep sense of pride of  provencale culture, country and its own particular dialect.
