On this 5-hour tour from Avignon you’ll see some of the most important stone monuments in Provence that date back to the Roman period.

At your own pace, visit Les Baux de Provence, a picturesque medieval village that sits on a rocky spur in the Alpilles Mountains, surrounded by olive groves that produce a well-known olive oil.

Ghislain was an amazing guide, taking us through 3 incredibly beautiful places- Pont du Gard, St Remy and Les Baux, with an extra stop added in for us to see the hospital where Van Gogh lived for a year and painted productively. Nice amounts of walking and short drives. He arranged the timing at each site to correspond perfectly with the weather. He shared a wealth of information and understandings (in very clear English). I highly recommend this tour!

We joined for the second half of the day’s excursion and it was just great! The air conditioned van made it so much more enjoyable to see all that we were passing by, and the car rides were just as beautiful as the site visits. Jeremy did not spend too much time providing history lessons which was nice, he gave the perfect amount of context to each visit we made.

Hubby and I enjoyed our 4 hour trip with Laure, a very personable driver. The trip was 1 hour shorter than advertised, and the stop at Les Baux would have benefited from the extra hour. I was looking forward to seeing the castle as it is described as outstanding in several travel books. But there was no time Nonetheless, Laure drove us to all the sites and provided good background info.
