While you may associated paella with Spain, Provence is located in south of France, close to the Spanish border, stretching along the Mediterranean coast. Here paella is a very common dish, offered at many restaurants and at local festivals, usually made with regional variations.
It can be tied to the Mediterranean roots of Provence, where there is a major focus on fresh and local seafood.
