  10. What do I like about Provence? • I love how simply the people live in Provence. Compared to a large city like Paris, Provence has a very relaxed atmosphere. I recently stayed in Crillon le Brave, a tiny village in Provence and we had the most amazing family vacation. The natives are extremely friendly and always wiling to help others. Also, there are many tourist attractions to keep visitors happy and occupied during their stay. • Click here to see where I stayed in Provence. Amanda Heah 2012
