Description:

Visit the Alpilles region to explore the iconic Provence landscape and its amazing colors and aromas. Pass by charming small villages, see the ruins of a medieval castle and a Roman town, and explore the delightful streets of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

Discover Provence's rolling verdant hills covered in scrubland, pine and oak forests, and verdant plains with fields of olive trees stretching as far as the eye can see. Uncover the lands of Alphonse Daudet and Van Gogh, artistic masters who were deeply inspired by its light, its sunflowers, and its famous cypress trees. Pass by steep little roads and pleasant shady paths, explore the hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence and the ruin of its medieval castle, and marvel at charming postcard panoramas as you reach the Roman town of Glanum, a historic fortified settlement built in the 6th century BC.

Continue you way through the countryside, passing by tiny villages composed of quaint houses, charming churches, pleasant tree-lined squares, and bubbling fountains. Visit 4 wine estates and enjoy a winetasting session before reaching the lovely town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Visit the Greco and Roman remains in the city and soak up the ambiance of a village where Vincent van Gogh spent a year painting over 150 masterpieces.
