Die Häuser der Provence haben einen unerschütterlichen, zeitlosen Zauber. Aus unbehandeltem oder grob behauenem Naturstein gebaut, manche verputzt und in verwaschenen Farbtönen gestrichen. Der Stil der Inneneinrichtung hat sich allerdings geändert, und heute findet man eher minimalistische Interieurs ganz in weiß, Designermöbel und antike, asiatische Textilien. Zwölf Häuser in der Provence mit multikulturellem Ambiente, traumhaft fotografiert, wecken die Sehnsucht nach einem einfachen, ländlichen Leben.
