Summary "A Tour Through Old Provence" by A. S. Forrest is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work offers a vivid exploration of the historical and cultural landscapes of Provence, particularly focusing on towns and significant sites such as Avignon, Villeneuve, and Tarascon. The author provides a rich narrative interwoven with historical details, making the region's past come alive for the reader. The opening of the narrative sets the scene along the Rhone River, depicting a bucolic landscape punctuated by ancient castles, monuments, and remnants of various civilizations—primarily the Romans, who significantly shaped the area. As the author introduces Avignon, he emphasizes its historical significance as the City of the Popes, outlining its architectural grandeur and the complex histories of its rulers, such as Clement V and Joan of Naples. The detailed descriptions create a vibrant backdrop for the cultural tapestry of Provence, engaging readers with both historical context and picturesque imagery as they embark on a journey through this enchanting region.
