Villeneuve lez Avignon has a long and rich history. Legend has it that in the 1 st Century AD, Saint Martha, the Patron Saint of Avignon "resurrected" a shepherd from the town after he drowned in the Rhone (resurrections were rather more frequent in those days). Some 400 years later, another Saint settled in Villeneuve as the locals call it, a Visigoth princess-hermit who devoted her life to God on Puy Andaon, the hill that dominates Villeneuve.

Château La Coste features a new rosé made from Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, noted for its pale color and precise structure.

Rosé doesn't always want to be paired with sweets-especially if we're talking about cream-heavy or chocolate-drenched options. The acidity just doesn't play well with rich, mouth-coating fats.

When you picture Provence, you probably imagine rolling hills and a verdant, vineyard-tracked countryside. But the glamorous beach spots of Côte d'Azur, peppered with striped parasols, are also part of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

Cassis offers a charming slice of Provencal life, contrasting with Cote D'Azur's hotspots, perfect for solo travel enthusiasts seeking tranquility and adventure.
