France, 6 Days · Tailor-made by car

Route through the most authentic Provence

Beautiful cities and sleepy villages among fields of lavender

This tour of the most authentic Provence invites the traveller to leisurely explore this seductive region of southern France, to discover its magnificent Roman treasures, to admire its rural landscapes of lavender and vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see, to stroll through beautiful cities such as Marseille, Arles, Nimes and Avignon; and to discover unique traditions in charming villages such as Les Baux-de-Provence and Saint Rémy de Provence. This route meanders through endless fields of lavender that when in flower form a hypnotic landscape of deep lilac tones and permeate the entire region with a heady aroma. These lands are home to the very fields and cafés painted by Van Gogh, the mountains that inspired Cezanne, the nature that fascinated Gauguin and the beauty that moved Picasso. Nestled among the stunning aromatic lavender fields you'll come across ancient churches such as the Abbey of Senanque and picturesque locations such as "the hanging village" of Gordes. Nature lovers will find beauty in unusual places such as the Grand Canyon du Verdon and the stunning turquoise sea of Les Calanques. Discover the main sights of Provence, savour its delicious cuisine and fine wines at traditional markets and on cute pavement terraces, and soak up its laid-back and genuine lifestyle where thousands of details revolve around lavender.

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
