Southern France for history loversFrance’s history is long and varied and Southern France offers myriad options to learn more about it. Avignon has a fascinating history, for instance. Not always French, the town was the capital of the papacy until 1791 when it was annexed and became a part of the country. Part of the Pope’s old palace is still standing for visitors to explore. Going back even further in time, Nimes Arena is one of the best preserved examples of a Roman amphitheatre that you’ll find anywhere in the world. Now with an excellent interactive video guide, history lovers can really get a feel for how this part of Southern France felt to those living in Roman times.
A short distance from Cannes is the town of Grasse, which despite its small size, produces around three quarters of the world’s perfume essences!
