Small-group excursion. On this full-day excursion, you will visit the most beautiful monuments and spots in Provence. Departing from Avignon, the tour starts by visiting the hill-top town of Roussillon, famous for its red and yellow ochre cliffs and ochre-washed façades and where on Thursdays you can enjoy the local market. Your guide will then take you to a panoramic photo stop facing the medieval hilltop village of Gordes. This Provencal village is perched up high in the Luberon and is listed as one of "the most beautiful villages in France"  Next, we drive to Fontaine de Vaucluse where you'll walk up to the cave from which the River Sorgues emerges. This impressive resurgence spring hasn't revealed its secrets yet and many speleologists have searched in vain the exact depth of the well. Continue to Pont du Gard and visit the best-preserved aqueduct of the Roman period, dating back to the 1st century and listed by UNESCO (entrance fees included). In Les Baux de Provence enjoy free time to visit this medieval village located on a rocky spur in the Alpilles mountain range, admiring its historical centre, beautiful 16th-century houses & the Romanesque style St-Vincent Church. Our final stop will be in the city centre of Saint Rémy de Provence, before returning to Avignon in the early evening. Conducted with a maximum of 8 participants, your tour today has a duration of approximately 10 hours.
