Doesn't everyone who comes to Provence, want to find the real Provence?
Tarascon is an old place with narrow cobbled streets, shaded walkways, a castle, a legendary monster and has been immortalised in a series of novels by Alfonse Daudet.
It is also well connected with trains to/from Avignon, Nimes, Arles, Marseille, Narbonne and Portbou in Spain.
