Provence is in France. If two people take wedding photos, it will be a tour, about 28, yuan in 5 days.
Provence is a province of the Roman Empire, abbreviated as PACA in English, and now it is a region in the southeast of France, bordering on the Mediterranean Sea and Italy. The Rhone, which flows south from the Alps through Lyon, divides into two branches near Provence and then flows into the Mediterranean Sea.
Provence is the "city of knights" in Europe, and it is the birthplace of knight lyric poetry, an important literary genre in the Middle Ages. The geographical scope of Provence in history has changed a lot. In ancient Rome, Provence was a province that reached the Alps in the north and the Pyrenees in the south, including the whole of southern France. During the French Revolution in the late 18th century, Provence became one of the five administrative provinces. In 196s, France was divided into 22 regions, and Provence belonged to Provence-Alpes-Cote d 'Azur region.
Provence is composed of famous cities such as Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, as well as Arles, Gedeh, Avignon and Nimes, and produces high-quality wines. This area is rich in products, sunny and beautiful. It has attracted countless tourists since ancient Greece and Rome, and it is still a tourist attraction.
the hometown of lavender
Provence is located in the south of France. Since its birth, it has carefully kept its secret. Until the arrival of peter mayle, an Englishman, the veil of Provence's unique life style for a long time was gradually lifted. In Mel's works, "Provence" is no longer a simple geographical name, but also represents a simple and carefree, relaxed and lazy lifestyle, a kind of humiliation, watching the flowers fall in bloom before the court; I have no intention of staying or staying, looking up at the leisurely mood of clouds and clouds in the sky. If you travel to get rid of the shackles of life, Provence will make you forget everything.
The whole Provence region has an unusual charm because of its great variety-the weather is uncertain, the warm wind is warm, the sea breeze is wild, the terrain is ups and downs, the plains are vast, the peaks and mountains are steep, lonely canyons, desolate castles, winding mountains and lively cities, all of which show thousands of customs on this land of France. From July to August, lavender blooms in the wind, rich colors decorate the green valley, and the slightly spicy fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of burnt grass, which interweaves into the most unforgettable atmosphere in southern France.
There are many activities in this area, which are even more dazzling, from the Monton Lemon Festival in February to the Avignon Art Festival in July and August. Ou Hongji's Opera Festival to the Lavender Festival in Provence in August echoes the unrestrained years in the mountain city. This color of freedom bewitched the inspiration of artists' creation, including Cezanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso and Xia Kaer, who all started a new stage of artistic life in Provence. The hedonistic atmosphere of the Cote d 'Azur also attracted American writer Fitzgerald, British writer Lawrence, French writer Huxley, Nietzsche and others to make pilgrimages, and of course, peter mayle, who pushed Provence to the peak. The romantic colors of Provence and the endless art also attract us to get wind of it.
The most delightful thing about Provence is that its air is always filled with the fragrance of lavender, thyme, pine and so on. This unique natural fragrance is not easily experienced in other places. Among them, lavender is the most unique and loved. Because the abundant sunshine is most suitable for the growth of lavender, coupled with the local residents' love for lavender fragrance and curative effect, in Provence, not only can you see the charming picture of lavender purple flowers billowing everywhere, but also various lavender sachets and sachets are commonly hung at home. Shops are also filled with various products made of lavender, such as lavender essential oil, perfume, soap, candles, etc., and packaged lavender herb tea is sold in pharmacies and markets. People can't help but want to know more about the charming aroma of Provence-lavender.
In Provence, lavender fields have different landscapes all year round. In winter, after the harvest is cut, only short and neat dead stems are left, covered with snow. When spring comes, green leaves come out. June is purple, and gradually as the summer sun gets hotter and hotter, lavender flowers quickly turn into charming deep purple. Then the busy harvest began, and it was very important to grasp the time. Therefore, flower farmers had to cut flowers day and night and distill the extract. By the end of September, all the flower fields had been harvested. Lavender fields can catch their breath, absorb the essence of nature, and prepare for the purple flowers to bloom again next summer.
Provence, the hometown of lavender. When it comes to French Provence, lavender, which represents sweet love, may first appear in the minds of modern and romantic China people. In fact, not only in Provence, but also on the roads with green belts in many French cities, people can always see purple lavande swaying in the wind. The aroma in Provence can't be summed up only by purple lavender, because there are so many things that can make the sense of smell happy. Even if it is impossible to fully understand the fragrance of Provence, it is necessary for people to go to Provence to personally appreciate several special flavors here. Travelling between cities in Provence, especially in Marseilles, people will soon know a local specialty: Marseilles soap. This very famous soap can be said to be the city of la cité phocéenne (in the sixth century BC, a group of sailors from phocée in ancient Greece landed in Marseille, and Marseille began to build a city. There are still some architectural styles and customs in Marseille, which are the same as those in the ancient city of Fossey on the Aegean coast. Therefore, Marseille is also known as "Forsyth City" and the pride of its industrial production. Nowadays, only a small amount of Marseille soap is kept here and it is made by hand. It takes at least three weeks to make a piece of traditional Marseille soap, and the main raw material is vegetable oil. It can be said that Marseille soap is a witness of Provence people's love for fragrance.
Provence's mild climate generously accepts a large number of exotic fruits and vegetables for local reproduction. Among many exotic plants, lavender has been firmly seated as the queen of the local plant kingdom. This plant from ancient Persia is famous for its elegant fragrance. With the change of time, this lilac flower from the Middle East has now become an important symbol in Provence, France. It adorns the fields and roads, courtyards and bedrooms of Provence with its distinctive blue-purple and elegant fragrance. In addition, it is a rare phenomenon to harvest this kind of plant which seems to have mixed fragrance. This is because lavender, which has completely adapted to the mild climate of Provence, began to spread all over the fields and fields of Provence since the 19th century, and it was then that people began to use lavender to prepare some famous brands of perfumes. This has led many family-owned essence distillers to move their industries to Provence with their families. They use lavender to make less famous cologne. Due to many crises in history, this family business has almost disappeared in Provence, but lavender still insists on playing its role in perfume manufacturing with its tenacious vitality.
Lavender-lavender, a small purple flower with the flower language of "waiting for love", has fascinated many people. Mr. Pascal of Self Voyages Provence took us across mountains and fields in his Toyota, over white limestone, which looks like the snowy Mont Ventoux even in summer, through a large golden sunflower garden, and finally stopped in a piece of transpiration land in Zi Xia.
Lavender Sault, the lavender capital, is so beautiful. It is the first time I have seen such a lush lavender field, such pure purple blooming in the high and low fields, and opening romantic symbols in the summer wind, like the quietest yearning and the sweetest melancholy, as if hiding in the heart of a loved one but never being able to hold your hand.
The harvested haystacks are rolled into oak barrels, which are dried in the fields in three or five places, and the yellow color is very simple. Yellow and purple are so cleanly stretched, and the air, our hair and skin are full of lavender smell.
Mr. Pascal from Self Voyages Provence has set up a picnic chair for us in the cypress forest. The content of the picnic is so rich that the only worry is that our appetite is too good. Chinese and western dishes, freshly squeezed juice, bread, cheese, fruit, wine and even desserts! The sunshine reveals the golden spots from cypress leaf, the wind is soft, the birds sing tactfully, the eyes are full of pure purple, and the breath is full of sweet breath-so-called happiness, but that's all!
Romantic City
If someone says that Provence is completely romantic, it's probably not too much, because apart from the romantic love legend that has been circulating for a long time, there are Marseille, which is famous for La Marseillaise, and Yves Island, which is well known for The Count of Monte Cristo, as well as the elegant university towns of Aix and avignon, medieval villas with a long aftertaste, and comfortable small cafes on the street ..
