Excellent trip! Highly recommend! Enjoy the beautiful French countryside and diverse charming towns. There were several pleasant, unexpected surprises and this trip exceeded my expectations. The guide was extremely informative about agriculture, history and all the sites.

Natalie gave us an exceptional introduction to some stunning cities and town within Provence. Her knowledge was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Her recommended restaurants to try in Avignon were also superb. Merci beaucoup Natalie.

Full description

We start this full day tour with the famous spring of Fontaine de Vaucluse with its pure water and leafy surroundings. Next is the Luberon Regional Natural Park established in the 1970s, which is characterised by a series of strikingly picturesque hilltop limestone villages such as Gordes, while the village of Roussillon is renowned for its magnificent red cliffs and former ochre quarry. (Lunchtime break in Roussilon).

Early in the afternoon we will discover Saint Remy de Provence, birthplace of Nostradamus and the town where Van Gogh created some of his most famous paintings. Next, we will explore, nearby, the historical village of Les Baux de Provence. We will finish the tour by travelling back to the time of the Roman Empire to admire the remarkable Aqueduct of the Pont du Gard. (UNESCO site)

Excellent!! Our only gripe was that the driver/guide spoke very accented English which at times was difficult to understand. But this is a very minor concern compared to the otherwise brilliant introduction to the charms of Provence.
