With arrival and departure transfers included and a comfortable 4-star hotel as your base, you can relax and enjoy a perfectly balanced itinerary combining villages, coastline, culture, and Provençal art de vivre.
Intimate and Immersive Journey Travel in a group of no more than 8 guests and enjoy an intimate, immersive way to explore Provence. Your English-speaking driver-guide takes care of all logistics while sharing insights into the region’s history, landscapes, food, and wine, ensuring a friendly atmosphere and easy pacing throughout your stay.
Villages of the Luberon One day is dedicated to the Luberon, a picturesque valley dotted with some of Provence’s most beautiful hilltop villages. Discover stone-built villages, colorful façades, and scenic viewpoints as you stroll through their narrow lanes and squares. This is the perfect opportunity to experience authentic village life, browse small boutiques, and enjoy café terraces surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
Arles, Saint-Rémy & Les Baux-de-Provence Another day focuses on the cultural heart of Provence. Explore Arles, with its Roman monuments and artistic heritage, then continue to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a charming town linked to Vincent van Gogh. Finish in the dramatic perched village of Les Baux-de-Provence, where narrow streets, views over the Alpilles, and a unique rocky setting bring centuries of history to life.
Cassis, Calanques & Provence Wines A third day takes you to the Mediterranean coast and the seaside village of Cassis. Stroll the harbor lined with fishing boats and cafés, and, when conditions allow, enjoy a boat ride into the nearby Calanques to admire limestone cliffs and turquoise coves from the water. The day also includes time to discover local Provence wines, adding a relaxed tasting element to your coastal adventure.
Relax in 4-Star Comfort in Aix-en-Provence Back in Aix-en-Provence, your centrally located 4-star hotel offers a refined and comfortable base, with easy access to markets, shops, and restaurants. With all key visits, entrance fees, and Provence wine tasting fees included in the program, this 5-day Provence Discovery package delivers a seamless, slow-travel introduction to one of France’s most beloved regions.
Meet your guide in the morning at the Aix-en-Provence Tourist Office and set off towards the Luberon Regional Natural Park in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. Traveling in a small group allows for a relaxed pace, photo stops, and personalized commentary on local history, landscapes, and gastronomy throughout the day.
Your first stop is Gordes, officially classified among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.” Perched above the valley, the village offers breathtaking views over the Luberon and its stone-roofed houses that tumble down the hillside. Wander along narrow cobbled streets, admire the church and castle, and soak in the quintessential Provençal atmosphere of this famous hilltop village.
Depending on season and local conditions, you may also stop for a photo opportunity near the Cistercian Abbey of Sénanque, surrounded by lavender fields in summer and emblematic of Provence’s pastoral landscapes.
Around midday, enjoy free time for lunch in one of the villages or nearby (at your own expense). Your guide will be happy to suggest cafés or bistros featuring regional specialties such as tapenade, ratatouille, and goat cheese paired with local wines.
In the afternoon, continue to Lourmarin, another village listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages of France,” known for its Renaissance château, shaded squares, and art galleries. Stroll through narrow streets lined with cafés and boutiques, admire the elegant façades, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that has inspired many writers and artists, including Albert Camus.
Depending on opening times and your interests, you may choose to visit the château or simply explore the village at your own pace (entrance fees not included).
From Monday to Saturday, your day also includes a visit to a local olive oil mill in the Luberon area. Discover the different stages of olive oil production, from the grove to the press, and learn how traditional methods meet modern techniques. A guided tasting allows you to compare several oils, identify their aromas, and better understand how to pair them with Provençal cuisine.
On Sundays, instead of the olive oil mill, your experience includes a stop at the Musée du Calisson at Confiserie du Roy René, on the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence. In this gourmet museum, follow an immersive journey through almond orchards, nougat and Calisson d’Aix production, and historic confectionery tools, with exhibits that blend tradition and multimedia.
You have time to explore the museum at your own pace and, if you wish, purchase calissons and other Provençal sweets in the boutique to take home.
At the end of the afternoon, you return to Aix-en-Provence with a deeper appreciation of the Luberon’s villages, landscapes, and local flavors. This full-day tour is ideal for travelers seeking a blend of scenery, culture, and gourmet discovery in the heart of Provence.
A true haven of peace, our 4-star hotel in Aix-en-Provence is surrounded by a magnificent Mediterranean garden that invites tranquillity. It has been designed to create a soothing atmosphere that is a marvellous marriage between the tranquillity of Provence and the historic riches of the town of Aix.
This charming hotel in Aix-en-Provence offers the perfect setting for discovering the heritage of the town of a thousand fountains, its market, its museums and its Provencal-style art of living. It also allows you to familiarize yourself with the world of the famous painter Paul Cézanne, who immortalized the colours of Aix-en-Provence and the nearby Sainte-Victoire mountain.
A complex dedicated to your relaxation, the Aquabella Hotel & Spa boasts a Sensory Spa that is free for hotel guests over the age of 17. A heated outdoor swimming pool, open from April to September depending on the weather, allows you to enjoy a moment lazing in the Provencal sunshine.
