Provence has been a playground ever Since the Romans scattered arenas cross the landscape. By now, such is its celebrity, you’d expect the place to be a theme park of itself. You would be wrong.

Certainly, the image- lavender, light and rose wine on the terrace- tells no lies. Yet this image both reveals and disguises. Another, deeper Provence swings from soft and rounded to rocky and reckless in the twist of a hairpin. Hectic history and geography have provided stubborn hills and smoky forest, gorges and hilltop villages whose ancient stones tell of farming, family feuds and a struggle to survive. Believe me, they’ve resisted far worse than tourism.

This, the toughness overlaid with sensuality, is the real richness of France’s most-visited region. It is however, extensive- from the Rhone to the Italian border. To narrow things down, we’re heading for Lorgues, near Draguigan, in the middle. It’s a cracking introduction.
