Visions® of France: Provence

VISIONS® OF FRANCE: Provence celebrates the timeless charms of one of the French countryside’s most popular travel destinations. A helicopter-mounted camera provides dazzling views from the mountains of Luberon to the Grand Canyon of Verdon and more, enhanced by historical narrative and set to regional music.

From Arles to Avignon to Aix, Provence has long been a source of inspiration for great writers and painters – Saint-Exupery (“The Little Prince”), van Gogh, Cézanne — and its great Romanesque cities, hilltop towns, bustling fishing ports, summer resorts, vast vineyards, picturesque churches and chateaus are even more irresistible from this new perspective. VISIONS® OF FRANCE: Provence showcases the region’s distinctive palette, on full display in the untamed Camargue delta where bands of white horses roam and pink flamingoes take flight; over luscious olive groves and lavender fields; or just winding along the Rhône and Durance rivers to the blue Mediterranean.

Executive Producer: Roy Hammond; Producer/Editor/Writer: Sam Toperoff; Aerial Director: Roy Hammond; Camera operator: Grant Bieman.

    I have your Visions of France DVD set and I absolutely adore them. I also find that the music is sublime and it is unfortunate the there aren’t any credits mentioned in the film. I would like to know the compositions and the composers/arrangers for this soundtrack and if it is available for purchase. Merci beaucoup!

    Hello, I’m French and I plan to offer this dvd to a friend living in America. In order to check that the dvd gives a quiet good representation of my country I wish I could see a preview of it… That would be nice for that kind of video document. Thanks, bonne journée!
