What you can expect

  • After a short drive from Avignon and your tour guide's commentary along the way, start your day with a visit to the Provençal market in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (about 40 minutes), where you can browse local produce, regional specialities, crafts and other market stalls.

    Discover then the peaceful surroundings of Saint-Paul de Mausole, the former asylum where Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh stayed and created masterpieces such as “The Starry Night” and “The Irises”. Enjoy views of the setting that inspired some of his most famous works and see the final section of the Van Gogh Walk, featuring panels reproducing his paintings. Nearby, admire the remains of the ancient Roman town of Glanum. Please note that the hospital is still in use, so the visit is limited to the exterior. Entry to the replica of Van Gogh's room is not included.

    A scenic drive through vineyards and olive groves takes you to Les Baux-de-Provence, a remarkable medieval village in the heart of the Alpilles. Your guide will drop you near the entrance to this pedestrian village, perched on a rocky plateau with breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. Explore its picturesque streets, discover its medieval heritage and enjoy time to browse the local shops.

    Continue to Arles, a city renowned for its Roman heritage and its connection to Vincent van Gogh. On arrival, your guide will provide a map and useful information to help you explore independently. Discover the city's remarkable Roman monuments, several of which are part of its UNESCO World Heritage listing, and wander through the streets and places that inspired Van Gogh during his time here.

    Finally, travel to the spectacular Pont du Gard, one of the best-preserved Roman aqueducts in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire this extraordinary feat of ancient engineering and enjoy the surrounding scenery before returning to Avignon after a full day exploring Provence's artistic, medieval and Roman heritage.
