10 Souvenirs Worth Bringing Home from Provence!

The South of France, particularly Provence, is renowned for its artisanal craftsmanship, across goods like ceramics, textiles, gourmet foods, perfumed delights, and jewelry. You’ve seen Jane Birkin with her Provence-style straw bags and Brigitte Bardot in Provence linen, and caught the scent of gorgeous perfumes—many of which come from Grasse, right in the heart of Provence—wafting from les françaises in passing. So, what should you bring home as a souvenir from Provence, in order to carry this sense of southern style home with you?

Make some room in your suitcase, because you’re in for a treat. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite Provençal finds, exclusive to the region, that you should definitely pick up on your way home.

The Provence region is located in Southeastern France, and includes areas like Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Vaucluse, and parts of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The area is known for its lavender fields, vineyards, and Mediterranean coastline, and it encompasses historic cities such as Marseille and Avignon, as well as picturesque villages like Aix-en-Provence and the stunning Verdon Gorge.
