“Provence Glory” captures the authentic soul of Provence, a region in southern France where vast lavender fields, picturesque villages and Mediterranean landscapes blend into an atmosphere of rare beauty.

Featuring over 200 illustrations, this volume by François Simon takes readers on a journey through art cities, timeless villages and local flavors, celebrating the understated elegance and luminous charm of one of France’s most captivating regions. With 312 pages of evocative imagery, “Provence Glory” is a tribute to the beauty and lifestyle of Provence.
