Solliès-Pont is the setting of Vladimir Nabokov's 1923 Russian-language poem “Прованс” ("Provence"). The original poem and its English translation by the author were set to music by composers Ivan Barbotin and James DeMars as part of the song cycle "Sing, Poetry" on the 2011 contemporary classical album Troika.[4]
