Description:

Explore the best that the Provence region has to offer, a perfect blend of historic places, unique landscapes, and delicious wine. Visit the charming villages of Orange, Les Baux-de-Provence, and Arles—and stop for a wine tasting in a Chateauneuf-du-Pape cellar.

Enjoy a scenic drive through picturesque vineyards and reach Orange. A city of art and history, Orange is known for its Triumphal Arch, a symbol of the glory of ancient Rome, and a spectacular Roman theater, one of the best preserved in the world with a still-intact stage wall.

Head to Chateauneuf-du-Pape and visit a 100-year-old winery. Sample the most prestigious red wine in the Rhone Valley and wander traditional shops offering a wide range of wines and Provencal specialties.

After a tour of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the unique landscape painted several times by Van Gogh, travel to Les Baux-de-Provence, a village set upon an 804-foot (245-m) rock. Stroll through its spectacular historic center and see the Museum of Santons, St. Vincent Church, and other charming Romanesque buildings.

In Arles, see the sites of Van Gogh's key paintings, including The Yellow House and Café Terrace at Night. Pass by the famous Roman amphitheater and marvel at the 12th-century Church of St. Trophime, with its sculpted Romanesque portico representing the Apocalypse.
