Slow down and explore
Provence as it should be explored – one step at a time.
From cobblestone streets and narrow village lanes to ancient
Roman thoroughfares and gentle vineyard pathways, we’ll get at the heart of all
that is Provence. Learn about the settings and circumstances that inspired some
of van Gogh’s most famous works on a guided tour of St Remy with a local
historian. And, of course, no vacation in France would be complete without
ample opportunity to sample the bounty of the land. Enjoy picnicking with a
local friend, tasting wine in the cellars of Chateau Romanin and shopping at
classic Provençal markets. Join VBT in connecting with the culture and soaking
up the inspiring scenery of Southern France.
