What to expect

Embark on an adventure with a reliable local guide to discover the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Provence. Your journey begins in the Alpilles mountain range, where you'll find the medieval village of Les Baux de Provence perched on a rocky spur overlooking the valley. This charming location will transport you back in time.

Next, you'll be whisked away to the Pont du Gard, the world's most well-preserved Roman aqueduct that once supplied water to the city of Nîmes (please note, museum entrance is not included). Your exploration continues as you drive through Provence, cruising along the docks between the Rhône River and Avignon's medieval walls. As you enter the grand "City of the Popes", you'll spot landmarks such as the Saint-Benezet Bridge, known from the children’s song “Sur le Pont d’Avignon”, and the Popes' Palace, Europe's largest gothic-style palace (entrance tickets are not included).

No trip to Provence would be complete without sampling some local wines. You'll get to explore the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a renowned winemaking village nestled beneath a dominating castle. Here, you'll visit a distinguished winery and savour some exceptional wines.
