DVD. 7 Days. 52 Minutes. Marseille is the oldest city in France, the country's largest commercial harbor and the capital of Provence, an enchanting region full of contrast. The most impressive religious building in Marseille is a fortified monastery church that dates back to the 5th century, the mighty Abbaye Saint Victor.Deep down in the rock is an Early Christian crypt and a number of stone sarcophaguses that contain the remains of various holy martyrs that date back to the Roman persecution of the Christians. Aix-En-Provence, along with its numerous lanes, is one of the most beautiful cities in France.More than 40 spectacular fountains help to cool down this ancient town in the hot months of summer when both foreign and French tourists visit the city. `Sur Le Pont D'Avignon' are the words of the world famous French song that is familiar to both young and old alike.It is a song of dance on the bridge of the Pont Saint B?n?zet but it is more likely that the people here once danced under the bridge as that is the location of its bars! For almost 2,000 years an imposing Roman amphitheatre has dominated the city of N?mes.It is the capital of the Department Gard that is situated on the periphery of Provence. One of the most well preserved mediaeval fortifications in Europe surrounds the small town of Aigues-Mortes along the western periphery of the Camargue in the south of France.The town was established in 1240.From the city wall that is 11 meters high and six meters thick, there is a wonderful view across the rooftops of the impregnable city. With historic towns in which both the Romans and the Papacy felt at home, and with blossoming fields of lavender and ancient mountain villages, Provence is a land of sweet aromas and radiant light.
