You will be accompanied by a tour guide throughout the activity; the guide will stay with you and help you discover the Provençal heritage.
The tour will begin with an exploration of Saint-Saturnin-les-Avignon and its paddle wheels, and what they were used for decades ago. You will have the opportunity to admire the village washhouse, and a stop is planned to visit the St-Saturnin-les-Avignon olive oil mill, with tastings of olive oil and honey at the Moulin de la Rétanque. By this point, you will already be immersed in the world of Provençal olive oil production.
We will continue our tour by heading to Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne to discover this charming hilltop village, its history, the Provençal movement that originated here, its fortifications, its monuments, and the people who have shaped the history of Provence.
We will then head to the higher part of the village for another immersive experience among the vineyards, where we will meet Bruno, who will show us his estate and tell us about his vines during a short walk through his land. Next will be a tasting of six wines, accompanied by a picnic featuring charcuterie, cheese, and local fruit, all in the shade of centuries-old plane trees in the heart of the vineyard.
After this moment of sharing, relaxation, and conviviality, we will head to Le Thor to visit the village and discover its secrets and its history. During the walk, you will be able to admire the lavender fields (in bloom from early June to mid-July), fruit orchards, olive groves, rivers, and vineyards. The landscapes, history, and culture of Provence await you.
A full immersion experience throughout the activity.
