Emperors, artists and
writers have been enchanted by bewitching Provence for centuries – now you can be,
too.
As you roll through the vineyards, fields, and olive and
almond groves of the foothills of the Alpilles, you’ll pause to visit villages
that have put their stamp on history. Marvel at the ruins of a Roman
amphitheater and ancient aqueduct. Discover how the landscapes of Saint-Rémy inspired
painter Vincent van Gogh, as you view them with a local historian. Explore the
“City of Popes,” Avignon, on a guided tour. And savor Provence’s famous
cuisine on picnics, a home-hosted meal and more. It’s an itinerary that truly
is a masterpiece!
