Made-in-Provence
With the rapid spread of Covid-19 and the fluctuating situation of closures and cancellations, the long-term effect on the global economy is unclear. However, it is the small business and the artisans who could be devastated.
The good news is there is a deep culture of quality craftsmanship and artistic talent in Provence. They sell their wares at local markets, in small boutiques and online. If you are in Provence at the moment, look for flyers for local ceramics fairs and marchés artisanal. Take a drive to Grasse and discover how this town has become the fragrance capital of southern France. Learn about the real Savon de Marseille and how Provence was once the soap making centre of Europe.
