CENTRAL PROVENCE from Avignon
- This itinerary starts in a comfortable Bed & Breakfast in Avignon island for 4 nights. This very quiet place is nestled in a park where you will enjoy relaxing by the swimming pool or in your large suite-room. The lovely hosts speak excellent English and will be happy to help and make recommendations.
- Avignon, also referred to as “the City of Popes”, is a must see. Explore the palace of the Popes, the well-preserved ramparts and the famous “Avignon Bridge”. We'll explain how to visit them while avoiding the crowds.
From there, you can easily tour the salt marshes of the Camargue and visit the Alpilles region, where you will find beautiful Saint Remy de Provence. We will tell you where to buy the best olive oil!
If you are interested in history, don’t miss the Roman ruins at Arles, Orange and the Pont du Gard. - If you like wine, save half a day to explore the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards where we have partnered with expert winemakers. For gourmet travelers, we plan for you to spend a morning with a local lady who will help you discover and taste of all of Provence's specialities.
Wilder PROVENCE
- Your second Bed & Breakfast for 5 nights lies just outside a lovely village on the slopes of Mont Ventoux. This former mas house has belonged to your hostess’s family for 4 generations and is surrounded by olive and cherry trees. One night, your host Chris will cook a delicious Table d’Hôtes dinner, which you will enjoy on the terrace.
- Mont Ventoux remains the most authentic part of Provence, with little villages such as Vaison la Romaine, Malaucène and Bedoin and dramatic landscapes like les Dentelles de Montmirail.
- In such scenery, we have handpicked a wine estate that offers a very fun tour in sand dune buggy to better understand the local terroir (soils). You will enjoy breathtaking views of Mont Ventoux, ending, of course, with a wine tasting.
Aix en Provence , Southern Provence
- The last B&B for 3 nights is in the heights of Aix en Provence, still inside the town of Aix, but in a very quiet setting surrounded by the waters. You will be comfortably settled in a typical “mill house”, surrounded by a lush garden with a swimming pool. From the B&B, you may explore the landscapes which inspired so many painters, including Paul Cezanne.
- Go shopping in Aix-en-Provence or sunbathe in the creeks of Cassis. Arles is famous for its arena dating back to the Roman Empire, which will take you 2,000 years back in time.
- We also plan for you to spend about 2 hours looking for truffles in the Luberon hills with a lovely couple, followed by several appetizers made of truffle with a glass of Champagne.
These are 2 weeks you will always remember.
