The domaine of Pont Royal and it's closest village, Mallemort, is located north of Marseille, between the historic cities of Aix-en-Provence and Avignon. Situated in the heart of Provence in the Bouches-du-Rhône in the South East of France, where the river flows into the Mediterranean, in a land between sea and mountains, the climate is wonderful for a visit at any time of the year.
"Provence - for the light ... Arles - where Van Gogh produced his best work - go in high season and the crowds queuing at the Cafe Van Gogh - immortalised in his 1888 painting Cafe Terrace at Night - could drive you to cut off your own ear in frustration, but go in March when the chilly mistral is all but beaten by the Provencal spring and you'll have the cafe, the Langlois bridge, the empty fields and the Espace Van Gogh pretty much to yourself."
