Then continue your tours in Provence in Avignon, the historic seat of Popes during the 14th century. As such, stroll along cobbled streets on a private guided tour through the old town. You also have the option to explore the imposing Pope’s Palace on your own.

Later, continue to nearby Châteauneuf-du-Pape. While here, enjoy a wine experience that blends Roman history, papal influence, and terroir-driven excellence. Indeed, guided tasting introduces you to the region’s signature varietals and rich winemaking legacy.

Today, your senses will awaken on a journey through the famed lavender fields of Valensole. During the bloom (late June to mid-July), the countryside transforms into a vibrant tapestry of violet and gold.

You will pause at scenic overlooks and meander through Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. This hilltop village is famous for its fine ceramics and Provençal charm, which inspired Van Gogh himself. Finally, visit the turquoise waters of Sainte-Croix Lake, nestled at the base of the Verdon Canyon.

However, if travel outside lavender season, you may choose an alternate experience. For example, take to the sea on a private speedboat from the Calanques. This half-day adventure allows you to tour Provence France's seaside beauty from an entirely different vantage point.

Then venture into the Camargue, a wild and untamed nature park of salt marshes, white horses, and flamingos. Indeed, a 4x4 safari reveals the hidden landscapes and Provencal villages that lend the area its mystical appeal.

In addition, enjoy a private cooking class in a countryside kitchen. Begin with a guided wine tasting of Châteauneuf-du-Pape vintages. Then learn to prepare traditional dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. This hands-on culinary immersion promises a flavorful and memorable experience.

On your final day, stroll through Aix-en-Provence, a city renowned for its graceful fountains, pastel-hued mansions, and bustling market squares. Of course, your private guide will help uncover the town’s artistic and historical past.

Afterwards, visit the village of Lourmarin before concluding the day at Château La Coste. This innovative estate unites unique winemaking with contemporary art installations by Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, and Tadao Ando. As such your wine tasting here takes place in a striking setting, making it a fitting finale to your Provence adventure.

Finally, a private transfer returns you to the train station or airport for your onward journey. Walk away filled with lasting impressions of one of France’s most sensuous and soulful regions.
