A full-day small-group excursion exploring the treasures of Provence. This tour is a perfect combination of the Provençal lifestyle: local culture and architecture, Van Gogh's paintings, magnificent landscapes, beautiful villages ... and regional wines. In Saint-Rémy de Provence take a look at Van Gogh's painting reproductions around Saint-Paul de Mausole and visit the recreated bedroom where the famous painter stayed from 1889 to 1890 (your ticket is included). In Arles, discover the city's heritage and the various sites featured in some of Van Gogh's famous paintings, including "Le Café la Nuit", “Le Jardin de la Maison de santé”... Finally, enjoy a scenic drive through the vineyards of Châteuaneuf du Pape followed by a wine tasting at two different wine estates in the "country of 13 grape varieties". Savour this delicious moment tasting some excellent local wines, and learn about the history and the “savoir-faire” of the winegrowers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This tour is conducted in two parts and returns to Avignon in the middle of the day where you'll have free time for lunch on your own. The order of the visits is subject to change due to market days in St Rémy (Wednesday) and Arles (Saturdays). With a maximum of 8 participants, this tour lasts about 10 hours.
