Province and the Côte d'Azur
Provence is listed in the top 3 for the best places to retire in the world. Bordered by the Mediterranean and the Rhône to the west, Provence has been a inspiration for the great artist such as van Gogh and Picasso.
The aroma of wild flowers, an abundance of vineyards and olive trees must have lead to the expression "Living like a God in France".
Provence is also the home for the "Bouillabaisse" , the French fish soup originated in Marseille. Try to get there at lunch time when the whole downtown is converted into an open air restaurant.
The Côte d'Azur has been a place for "snowbirds" since the 1920 for wealthy Europeans, hiding from the snow and rain.
