ABSTRACT: Home to diverse scenery and cultural riches, not to mention outstanding food and wine, this southern French region offers tourists a wealth of options.

This signature also engages the French community, Flemish community and German-speaking community, the Waloon region, the Flemish region and the Brussels-capital region.

What the French call terroir -- a term that refers to the soil of a given region but also includes the cultural knowledge of the people who grow and process grapes -- is crucial.
