What to expect
Fontaine de Vaucluse
A cool and quiet wellspring in winter and summer, and a surging and impetuous torrent in in spring and autumn, the Fontaine is a real wonder of nature which never ceases to amaze.The spring is the most copiously productive in Europe, and one of the largest in the world, by volume of water.
This is a real postcard picture.Gordes is one of the most well-known hilltop villages in the region.
Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senanque
Photo stop only during Lavender blossom season (last week of June until mid-July)
Roussillon is located in the very heart of the biggest ochre deposits in the world, and is distinguished by a wide palette of flamboyant colours. Wandering the narrow streets, stairs and squares in Roussillon opens your eyes to the beautiful natural pigments used throughout the village, and the millennium-old knowledge of how to use this generous natural gift. In Roussillon, man has long worked in harmony with nature. Lunch stop
While strolling through the narrow winding streets you will discover fantastic old fountains, shady squares, picturesque restaurants and elegant boutiques. Walking tour.
This immense and superb stone fortress is without doubt one of the "must-sees" in Provence. The village is officially classified and labelled as "one of the most beautiful villages in France".
Pont du Gard, a masterpiece of ancient architecture built halfway through the 1st century AD. It is the principal construction in a 50 km long aqueduct that supplied the city of Nîmes, formerly known as Nemausus, with water. Built as a three-level aqueduct standing 50 m high, it allowed water to flow across the Gardon river.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
