Sightsee Provence with your private driver guide to visit the Luberon villages, to tour Avignon's Pope's Palace, to see Van Gogh's Arles and St. Remy.
We can arrange for pickup at your hotel in Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Marseille, or wherever you're staying.
We can customize a private Provence tour, but here are some suggestions of destinations we recommend.
Visit Les Baux de Provence, a perched village in Les Alpilles
countryside. Then stop at the remains of the Roman city of Glanum
including its Triumphal Arch. It is situated in a field of olive
trees and landscape painted by Van Gogh. Visit Roussillon which is
one of the most beautiful villages in France with its red and yellow
ocher cliffs. Sightsee Gordes and then visit the Senanque Abbey.
This tour is great if you only have one day and want to see a lot.
Luberon Private TourSightsee the Luberon in a private tour to see the quaint villages of Bonnieux, Gordes, Roussillon, and the Abbey of Senanques. Peter Mayle's book "A Year in Provence" made this area very popular, but the small towns have a charming appeal and each has its own unique beauty, special shops, and history. Lavender is beautiful here in early summer.
Visit the Sunday market of Ile la Sorgue during this private
tour. See the picturesque town of Ile la Sorgue and shop the
Provence market with its herbs, fabrics, soaps, and olive oil. This
town has more than 300 antique dealers, too. In the afternoon, Saint
Remy de Provence is a great place to visit to and then Les Baux de
Provence tops the day with this perched village. Olive oil and
wine-tasting can be arranged nearby.
Take this private tour of Arles and Camargue to see the
2,000-year-old city of Arles with its Roman monuments and landmarks
captured in Van Gogh's paintings. The Camargue Nature Park is near
Arles and the short drive will take you to a landscape including
birds, salt flats, French Cowboys, wild horses, and arrival at Les
Saintes Maries de la Mer, a quaint town with strong Gypsy
influences. The town is on the Mediterranean, so lovely to stroll.
Sightsee Aix-en-Provence to see its markets (Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday) and then tour the town to see its mansions, fountains, and
architecture. The afternoon includes visiting the Luberon to see the
town of Lourmarin, Bonnieux, and Lacoste. Lavender will be in the
fields at the end of June.
