Editor’s App Choice: Provence Gallery

With its beautiful scenery, dazzling quality of light and rich array of colours, it’s little wonder that Provence has played a starring role in so many popular modern art movements, both on canvas and in shaping the lives of its leading proponents, such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Picasso and Chagall.

Bringing the region’s artistic heritage to life in an enjoyably interactive fashion is Gallery PACA, a free new app from the region’s tourist board. Step into the footsteps of painters and tour the region through their eyes – with geolocation pointing to the nearest works and anecdotal audio guides, this is the perfect way to plan a visit according to your preferred painters.
