Description

From Avignon or around (contact me if you don’t stay within Avignon itself), we will go for a 50-minute drive to Arles. There, we will stroll in the city center among the Roman and more recent monuments. During the visit, you will see the amphitheater, the Roman theater, the café Van Gogh, the Roman forum, the cloister and cathedral Saint Trophime, and the summer garden. Then we will drive to Les Baux de Provence. In Les Baux de Provence, we will stop first at an olive oil mill (between April and October only), you will do a guided tour of the mill with a worker from there and you will enjoy an olive oil tasting at the end of the visit. After that, we will have a picnic lunch in front of the mill, made up with fresh products from local farms only (between April and October only). Then, we will walk inside the medieval village of Les Baux de Provence, listed among the most beautiful villages of France, which was entirely built with limestone and offering a fantastic view over the area, including Arles, the Camargue, the Alpilles mountains and the region around Aix en Provence and Marseille. You will also enjoy the wonderful light show at the Carrières de Lumières in Les Baux de Provence. This is a little movie with lights projected on former limestone quarries used to build the village in the Middle Ages. This is a spectacular light show in a historic and beautiful scenery. To finish, after a 15-minute drive, you will have a free time in the beautiful town of Saint Rémy de Provence, where Van Gogh spent around a year of his life, and where he painted his most famous paintings including the Starry Night. Then we will go back to Avignon by driving on around 40 minutes.
