The richest area of Provence, the Cote d'Azur apart, is the west . Most of the large-scale production of fruit, vegetables and wine is based here in the low-lying plains beside the Rhone and the Durance rivers. The only heights are the rocky outbreaks of the Dentelles and the Alpilles , and the narrow east-west ridges of Mont Ventoux , the Luberon and the Mont Ste-Victoire . The two dominant cities of inland Provence, Avignon and Aix , both have rich histories and contemporary fame in their festivals of art; Arles , Orange and Vaison-la-Romaine have impressive Roman remains. Around the Rhone delta, the Camargue is a unique self-contained region, as different from the rest of Provence as it is from anywhere else in France.
