Overview

This small-group tour in the heart of the Alpilles will let you discover its heritage and unique scenery. It starts in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a village with a typically Provençal charm. You’ll make a stop at Les Antiques, Roman ruins located at the entrance of the old town, and then at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole Monastery, one of the last places Vincent van Gogh lived, where he found a great source of inspiration.

Next, you’ll be taken to the heart of a family-run estate for a guided tasting of AOP Baux-de-Provence olive oils.

The discovery continues in Les Baux-de-Provence, a hilltop village ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. Stroll through its characterful streets and enjoy some free time to soak in the surroundings.

Finally, you’ll head back on the road to end the day with a visit to the Pont du Gard, the famous Roman aqueduct listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
