Forget the hassles of hiring a car and finding your own way! Take a small group tour of Provence and its exquisite highlights: Avignon, Pont du Gard, Les Baux de Provence and Roussillon. Your minivan holds a maximum of eight passengers, and a small group tour is the perfect way to get to out-of-the-way places in one day.
Your day begins with a panoramic tour of Avignon and its main monuments. Next stop is a visit to the famous Pont du Gard bridge classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site and dating back to the 1st century. Then you'll travel through the lock of Vallabregues on the Rhone river, and visit Tarascon to admire the medieval Roi Rene castle. You'll also tour the historic center of Les Baux de Provence, with free time to enjoy lunch on your own.
After a stop at the Antiques of Saint Remy de Provence, a triumphal arch and funeral monument in a field of olive trees painted many times by Vincent Van Gogh, you'll journey to the Luberon through Menerbes, made famous by Peter Mayle in his book A Year in Provence.
You'll also visit Roussillon and the dry-stone village of Gordes, one of the most beautiful villages in France. Finally there's a visit to a lavender museum to discover the floral symbol of Provence. You'll witness a distillation demonstration during the harvest (from July to August).
On your return to Avignon you'll travel through Fontaine de Vaucluse and Isle sur la Sorgue, an "island city" with bright reflections from the water shining from the canals running through its centerugh Fontaine de Vaucluse and Isle sur la Sorgue, an "island city" with bright reflections from the water shining from the canals running through its center.
