Summary "Romantic Cities of Provence" by Mona Caird is a travel narrative that was likely written in the late 19th century. This work reflects on the author's experiences during a journey through the picturesque and historically rich region of Provence in southern France. Caird captures the enchanting atmosphere of ancient cities, exploring their history, culture, and the profound impressions they leave on visitors. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the author's exploration of Provence, particularly their encounter with the powerful wind known as the mistral, which shapes the landscape and influences the character of its inhabitants. Caird conveys a sense of deep wonder and emotional connection to the region, revealing how the raw natural forces and historical legacy intertwine to create a unique sense of place. Throughout this introductory portion, the author hints at the complex history of Provence and its impact on the people and culture, setting the tone for a journey that promises to blend personal reflection with historical insight.
