France Vacation Rentals - Provence

Rolling hills with olive trees, lavender fields and grape vines, mountains to the north, from the border with Italy to the Rhone River, Provence is a diverse region with much to see. It even circles another country - Monaco on the coast east of Nice. The Luberon, a wine-producing valley surrounded by mountains, is in the center of Provence. There is a good selection of vacation rentals throughout the region. The Côte d'Azur is the coastal area of Provence and is so popular that we gave it a page of its own. Region - Provence and Côte d'Azur (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur)
