[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 15
[shortDescription] => Discover Gordes and Lourmarin plus an authentic olive oil mill with tastings, or the Roy René Calisson Museum on Sundays, on a small-group day trip from Aix-en-Provence.
[description] => <h3>Luberon Villages Tour from Aix-en-Provence: Hilltop Charms, Olive Oil & Calissons</h3><p> </p><b>A full-day Provençal escape from Aix-en-Provence</b><p>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 vehicle. Your small-group format allows for a relaxed pace, photo stops, and personalized commentary on local history, landscapes, and gastronomy.</p><b>Discover the hilltop village of Gordes</b><p>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 the 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.</p><p>(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.)</p><b>Free time for lunch</b><p>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 and seasonal products.<span><a href="https://www.ophorus.com/product/798/villages-of-the-luberon-full-day-trip-from-aix-en-provence"></a></span></p><b>Visit Lourmarin, a literary and cultural gem</b><p>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. 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).</p><b>Monday–Saturday: Olive oil mill visit and tasting</b><p>From Monday to Saturday, your day also includes a visit to a local olive oil mill in the Luberon area. There, you 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.<span><a href="https://www.ophorus.com/region/6/france/provence"></a></span></p><b>Sunday: Calisson Museum at Confiserie du Roy René</b><p>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, you follow an immersive journey through almond orchards, nougat and Calisson d’Aix production, and historic confectionery tools, with exhibits that blend tradition and modern multimedia. You have time to explore the museum at your own pace and, if you wish, purchase calissons and other sweets in the boutique.</p><p>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.</p><p> </p>

Located to the east of Aix-en-Provence, this picturesque area boasts forests, farmland, and pastoral landscapes, all crowned by the imposing stone monument that inspired Paul Cézanne's vibrant paintings.</p><p><b>Embark on a Journey to the Côtes de Provence Wine Region</b></p><p>In a small group limited to eight participants, our private half-day tour from Aix-en-Provence takes you through breathtaking landscapes en route to the Côtes de Provence wine region. Encompassing over 19,000 hectares (47,000 acres) and accounting for three-quarters of Provence's wine production, this esteemed A.O.C. region benefits from exceptional sunlight and diverse soil types. Limestone hills dominate the northwestern part, while the southwestern section features crystalline soil. This geological diversity yields a wide array of wines, including reds, whites, and the region's famous rosés. Traditional and local grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Clairette contribute to the distinctive character of these wines.</p><p><b>Indulge in the Delights of Rosé Wines</b></p><p>The Côtes de Provence wine region is renowned for its exceptional rosé wines, constituting 80% of the entire production. These wines are characterized by their pale color and offer a rich aromatic complexity, with notes of white and yellow fruits, vanilla, and hazelnut.</p><p><b>Unveiling the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire Territory</b></p><p>Recognized as an A.O.P territory in 2005 for both red and rosé wines, the Sainte-Victoire Mountain wine region showcases its unique terroir within the broader Côtes de Provence wine region. The territory's geological features, diverse landscapes, and warm, dry climate, enhanced by the Mistral wind, create favorable conditions for vine cultivation, warding off potential diseases.</p><p><b>Immerse Yourself in Wine Culture: Visit 2 Select Wineries</b></p><p>Upon reaching the Côtes de Provence wine region, your tour will unveil two carefully chosen, family-owned wineries. Begin with an introduction to the estate, its history, and the family behind the winemaking tradition. Delve into the winemaking process as you explore the technical facilities, gaining insights into the unique methods employed for red, white, and rosé wines. Witness the vat room and venture into the aging cellars, where you'll discover the significance of oak barrel aging and the craftsmanship of coopers.</p><p>Finally, indulge in the highlight of the tour: wine tasting. Sample a selection of fruity rosés, elegant and well-balanced whites, or full-bodied reds, allowing your taste buds to savor the diverse flavors of the region. Conclude your experience with a return journey to Aix-en-Provence, filled with memories of an exceptional wine exploration.</p><p>Book now and embark on an unforgettable journey through the captivating landscapes and exquisite wines of the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire.</p>

[name] => Châteauneuf-du-Pape Wine Tour: A Private Vineyard Voyage
[durationMinutes] => 480
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 5760
[shortDescription] => Enjoy a Châteauneuf du Pape Vineyard tour and visit carefully selected Châteauneuf du Pape wineries. Departing from Aix en Provence, visit vineyards and taste famed red wines from this southern Côtes du Rhône wine region.
[description] => <p><b>Discover the Delights of Châteauneuf du Pape: Private Day Trip from Aix en Provence Wine Tour</b></p><p>Embark on a remarkable Châteauneuf du Pape wine tour, departing from Aix en Provence, and immerse yourself in a full-day private small group experience. Our English-speaking local guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Aix en Provence, and your knowledgeable driver guide will provide you with a detailed itinerary and program for the day.</p><p><b>Journey to the Enchanting Châteauneuf du Pape Wine Region</b></p><p>As we make our way to the captivating Châteauneuf du Pape wine region, get ready to indulge in several wine tasting sessions at carefully selected wineries. Châteauneuf du Pape holds a prestigious position as one of the first AOC wines of France, with vineyards that trace back to the Roman era. The region experienced significant development during the 14th century under the patronage of the Avignon Popes. It was Pope Clement V who first discovered the unique soil of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and his successor, Pope John XXII, further fostered viticulture practices, propelling the vineyard to fame beyond the borders of "The Comtat."</p><p><b>Unveil the Rich History and Breathtaking Views</b></p><p>Upon reaching this renowned wine-producing region, explore the village and its ancient castle, which served as the summer residence for the Popes during their stay. Delight in a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley as you immerse yourself in the ambiance of this historical setting.</p><p><b>Morning Wine Tasting Session at a Local Winery</b></p><p>Châteauneuf du Pape wines are celebrated for their full-bodied reds, predominantly crafted from grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre—typical grapes found in the southern vineyards of France. The region also produces intensely perfumed white Châteauneuf du Pape wines, featuring grape varieties such as Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, many of which are rustic French varietals.</p><p>Upon arrival in the village, indulge in a wine tasting session at a local winery. Afterwards, enjoy some free time to explore and embark on a wine tour of Châteauneuf du Pape wines in the old 14th century pope cellars. If desired, your guide can recommend additional wineries for further wine tasting experiences.</p><p><b>Lunch at a Local Restaurant (at own expense)</b></p><p>Following the morning's Châteauneuf du Pape wine tour, it's time to savor a delectable lunch.

Whether you're a small or large group, our specially crafted wine tours cater to your preferences. Step into our premium air-conditioned vehicle and begin your immersive exploration of the renowned Provence wine region.</p><p><b>Indulge in Your Preferred Wine Style</b></p><p>Our private tours from Aix en Provence offer access to various wine appellations within the Provence region. Accompanied by your knowledgeable wine guide, discover the unique characteristics of the terroir and gain insights into the meticulous wine-making process as you explore the aging cellars.</p><p>Engage in private visits and tours, and delight in sampling a diverse selection of wines. Below, we present our curated selection of Provence Appellations that you can visit from Aix en Provence:</p><p><b>Coteaux d'Aix en Provence</b></p><p>Located furthest to the West among Provence wines, the vineyards of Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence stretch from the Durance River to the Mediterranean Sea and from the Rhône Valley (West) to Sainte-Victoire Mountain (East). This appellation is renowned for its captivating reds and rosés. </p><p>The red wines offer a beautiful texture, ample with firm tannins that provide a structured and voluminous experience. Meanwhile, the rosé wines charm the palate with their roundness, aromatic depth, and a refreshing finish often accompanied by minerality.</p><p><b>Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire</b></p><p>Situated at the base of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, the vineyards of Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire thrive on poor yet quality soil consisting of limestone and clayey sandstone. These vineyards produce exceptional red wines ranging from delicate to robust and generous, as well as elegant rosés with subtle flavors.</p><p><b>Bandol</b></p><p>Nestled in a natural amphitheater, the Bandol vineyard stretches across terraces encompassing approximately 1,600 hectares. Protected by the massif of Sainte Baume to the North, this vineyard descends gracefully toward the sea, creating a magnificent amphitheater of wooded hills. Bandol wines predominantly feature the Mourvèdre variety, known as the king of the appellation, complemented harmoniously by Grenache and Cinsault. The red wines exemplify balance, while the rosés captivate with their roundness and generosity.</p><p><b>Cassis</b></p><p>Established as a Protected Appellation (AOP) in 1936, Cassis stands as one of the early vineyards in the region to receive this prestigious qualification. This picturesque village, composed of a single commune, holds the distinction of producing predominantly white wines, with at least 80% Marsanne. The Marsanne varietal contributes exquisite aromatics, finesse, and an elegant profile to the refreshing high-quality white wines of Cassis.</p><p><b>Châteauneuf du Pape</b></p><p>The Châteauneuf du Pape Appellation, labeled as one of the first AOC wines of France in 1936, boasts a rich history dating back to the Roman era. This vineyard, expanded and developed during the 14th century by the Avignon Popes, showcases a remarkable soil composition. Explore the village and its ancient castle, the former summer residence of the Popes, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley.</p><p>All our full-day wine tours feature guided wine tastings at carefully selected wineries. During the booking process, you'll have the opportunity to specify your preferred Provence appellation. If you're undecided, simply select the 'Help me decide' option during the booking process, and our team will curate the perfect Provence wine tour tailored to your preferences.

[durationMinutes] => 420
[minimumNoticeMinutes] => 4320
[shortDescription] => Enjoy a full day Private Wine Tasting and Wineries tour in the Châteauneuf du Pape wine region of France with a local guide, expert in Côtes du Rhône Wines. From Avignon, visit carefully selected wineries, taste delicious red wines.
[description] => <p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide</b></p><p>On this private full day small group tour, we will first come and pick you up at your accommodation in Avignon. Meet your English speaking driver guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you.</p><p><b>Châteauneuf du Pape Wine tour</b> </p><p>The Châteauneuf du Pape Appellation was one of 6 to be labeled as the first AOC wines of France in 1936. The vineyards planted by the Romans were extended and developed by the Pope's residing in Avignon popes during the 14th century.</p><p>In 1314, Clement V, the first Avignon Pope discovered the special soil of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. His successor, John XXII supports him and it was during his reign that the vineyard really took off and spread fame beyond the borders of “The Comtat”.</p><p>The former bishop of Avignon, Jacques Duèse was elected as Pope John XII and succeeded Clement V in 1316. He regularly drank the wines from the vineyards ‘in the north’ and did much to improve viticulture practices there.</p><p>The Pope sought a place sufficiently far from the city to discourage courtiers, sycophants, and scroungers, yet close enough so that a courier could go there and back to Avignon on the same day. The ideal spot was found on a hillock overlooking the Rhône Valley about halfway between Avignon and Orange – Châteauneuf – and this area was placed directly under his authority.</p><p>As you reach this famous wine producing region, discover the village and its ancient castle that was the summer residence of the Pope's during their stay in the area. Here, you will enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view on the valley.</p><p><b>Morning Wine tasting session in a local Winery</b></p><p>The Chateauneuf du Pape wines are well known for their full bodied red wines made predominantly with different grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre that are typical grapes that can be found in the southern vineyards of France. There are also some white Chateauneuf du Pape wines that are intensely perfumed. The grape varieties used for the white wines include Grenache Blanc, Rousannes, Clairette and Bourboulenc many of which are rustic french varietals.</p><p>Upon arrival in the village, it will be time to taste some of the local wines in a local winery. Then, you will have some free time to roam around and enjoy a wine tour of Chateauneuf du Pape wines in the old 14th century pope cellars. Depending on your wishes, it will be possible to taste more wines in the local wineries that your guide can point to.</p><p><b>Lunch in a local restaurant</b></p><p>After your morning Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, it will be time for lunch. We can pre-book a restaurant for you and your party in a local restaurant. Why not enjoy the local food and pair it with more Chateauneuf du Pape red or white wines.</p><p><b>Afternoon wine tasting session in a local Winery</b></p><p>After lunch, experience your second Chateauneuf du Pape winery tour. Listen about the history of this unique domain, visit the installations and participate in a commented tasting of the wines of the estate. Take the opportunity to ask about the wine making process, the different blendings that are possible and most of all learn about the large range of grape varieties that can be used to make this exceptional wines. </p><p>After the wine tasting tour, we will take you back to Avignon. Please note that we also organize Provence wine tours & day trips from Avignon.</p>

These wines are primarily rosé, although red and white varieties are also produced. Côtes de Provence rosés are especially renowned for their pale pink hues, delicate aromas, and refreshing, crisp flavors. They often exhibit notes of red berries, citrus, and floral undertones, making them perfect for warm weather and light cuisine. </p><p>The region's terroir, which includes a combination of rocky soils, maritime influences, and abundant sunshine, contributes to the distinctive character of Côtes de Provence wines. These wines are widely enjoyed for their elegance, versatility, and ability to evoke the relaxed ambiance of the Provençal lifestyle. </p><p>As you make your way back to Marseille, we will stop in a local winery of the Côtes de Provence wine region.

[description] => <p><b>Immerse Yourself in Provence's Authentic Charms: Full-Day Private Tour to Arles, Saint-Remy, and Les Baux de Provence from Aix en Provence</b></p><p>Experience the essence of Provence on a private full-day guided tour to the captivating town of Arles and the authentic villages of Saint-Remy and Les Baux de Provence. Uncover the treasures of these three stunning gems, each offering a unique glimpse into the region's rich history and cultural heritage.</p><p><b>Meet Your Knowledgeable English-Speaking Local Guide</b></p><p>Begin your adventure with a convenient morning pick-up from your centrally located accommodation in Aix en Provence. Alternatively, we can arrange a meeting point if you're staying in a rental accommodation. Meet your friendly English-speaking driver/guide, who will provide you with a detailed itinerary and program for the day. Hop aboard our premium air-conditioned vehicle and embark on a private tour led by a passionate local guide.</p><p><b>Arles Town Visit</b></p><p>As you arrive in Arles, choose from a variety of walking tours to explore this charming town. Discover the historic city of Arles, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its impressive Roman monuments. Opt for a walking tour of the historic center, where you'll visit iconic landmarks such as the Amphitheater, the Antique Theater, and Saint Trophime Church.</p><p><b>The Roman City & Sites</b></p><p>If you're fascinated by history and culture, this option is perfect for you. Arles underwent a significant urban transformation after the establishment of the Roman Colony of Arelate in 46 BC. Many of the Roman monuments in Arles date back to the 1st century. The Roman Amphitheater, constructed in the late 1st century, is larger than its counterpart in Nîmes and could accommodate up to 25,000 spectators. The Antique Theater, requested by Emperor Auguste, could hold up to 10,000 spectators at once and remains one of the best-preserved theaters in France. Explore these ancient sites and learn about their historical significance, including the discovery of the famous Venus of Arles during early archaeological excavations.</p><p><b>The Roman Forum</b></p><p>Discover the Roman Forum of Arles, situated at the intersection of the Cardo (north-south axis) and the Decumanus (east-west axis). While only two fragments of the Forum remain, its foundations are of particular interest, as they are built on a cryptoporticus—a covered corridor or passageway. In Arles, the cryptoporticus might have served as a barracks for public slaves, although it was too damp for long-term storage purposes.</p><p><b>On the Footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh</b></p><p>Art enthusiasts will delight in this option, which delves into the life of Vincent Van Gogh during his time in Arles from February 1888 to May 1889. Van Gogh created approximately 300 paintings and drawings during his stay. Follow your guide through the town of Arles as they point out the locations where the artist set up his easel, marked by panels depicting his famous works. For an enhanced experience, consider adding tickets to the Arles Van Gogh Foundation during the booking process.</p><p><b>Saint-Rémy de Provence</b></p><p>En route to the charming village of St Remy, enjoy a photo stop at the Plateau des Antiques to admire the Roman triumphal arch and mausoleum. Visit Saint-Paul de Mausole, where Van Gogh stayed for a year. This former lunatic asylum is where the artist sought refuge after his breakdown in December 1888, which famously resulted in the self-mutilation of his left ear. It was during his stay here that he created some of his most renowned works, including "The Starry Night." Upon arrival in Saint Remy de Provence, explore one of the prettiest villages in the area, known for its picturesque squares and as a summer retreat for chic Parisians. Enjoy free time for personal discovery and lunch, and be sure to visit the vibrant Provence Market held on Wednesdays.</p><p><b>Les Baux de Provence</b></p><p>Continue your journey to the Alpilles mountain region, celebrated for its vineyards and olive trees. Arrive at the medieval hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence, perched on a rocky spur and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Provence countryside. Take advantage of free time to wander through the narrow streets, explore art galleries, and discover the remnants of the 10th-century fortress. Don't miss the extraordinary Carrières de Lumières, a unique light and sound show in Europe housed within an ancient limestone quarry. Marvel at the captivating visuals projected onto the massive 14-meter high limestone walls, creating a truly immersive experience.</p><p>At the heart of the Alpilles, Les Baux de Provence's historic site and former quarries, dating back to Roman times, transport visitors into a magical world of entrancing images and music. The Carrières de Lumières, once a source of white limestone for the construction of Les Baux and its citadel, now presents a captivating multimedia spectacle.</p><p>After your visit to Les Baux de Provence village, we will conclude the tour and return to Aix en Provence, marking the end of our services. Book now to embark on a memorable full-day private tour, immersing yourself in the enchanting towns and authentic beauty of Provence.</p><p> </p>

[description] => <p>Embark on a vibrant Shore Excursion from Marseille Cruise Terminal to visit the most beautiful villages of the Luberon. Let our Expert local guides introduce you to one of the most stunning regions of Provence.</p><p><b>Pick up at your Cruise Ship in Marseille</b></p><p>Today we will come and pick you up at your Cruise Ship in Marseille Port of Call. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the itinerary and program of this private shore excursion. Then, board your air conditioned vehicle and begin to make your way to the Luberon villages of Provence.</p><p>There are a number of villages that can be visited on this full day trip from Marseille. Below is our selection of Villages du Luberon that are worth a stop. It will be your driver/guide on the day of your tour that will go over this selection with you.</p><p>Depending on your wishes, your Expert guide will adapt the itinerary to your wishes. You will also have some free time in most villages so that you may explore on your own and lunch will be taken at your own expense in one of the villages on the way.</p><p><b>Our selection of Luberon Villages:</b></p><p><b>Gordes</b></p><p>Gordes is without a doubt the most famous of all Luberon villages. The downside to this is the high number of visitors that come to visit the village so we advise that if you do choose to visit this village, you should go there immediately so as to arrive early.</p><p>Classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France and facing the Luberon mountain range, the village is composed of small paved streets, known as calades, where it feels so nice to get lost in. To mostly appreciate this unique village, magic operates in spring and autumn as summer is very crowded by the number of visitors.</p><p><b>Lourmarin</b></p><p>The village of Lourmarin is quite unique. As you stroll the winding streets, the architecture in the village reveals its many riches: from the Renaissance to the Baroque period, from Classicism to the 19th century, the houses in Lourmarin highlight the incomparable know-how of those builders often little known to the general public. </p><p>Located in a gorgeous setting that is surrounded by olive and almond trees, the village has attracted numerous artists and writers such Henri Bosco and Albert Camus. Again, enjoy some time in the village where options include the visit of its ancient castle. The village was the source of inspiration for Peter Mayle’s “A year in Provence”.</p><p><b>Roussillon</b></p><p>The village of Roussillon is a typical hilltop village located just above a rock formation called the “Provencal Colorado“. Here, you will have some time for personal discovery that will allow you to stroll down the village or walk along the “ochre cliffs path", a 30 minute walk.</p><p><b>Bonnieux</b></p><p>The architecture of Bonnieux, papal town for about 500 years, testifies to the prestige of its inhabitants over the centuries: ecclesiastical dignitaries, counts, lords... up until the modern times of the 19th century. The village has kept all its authenticity, its steep sloping streets, its fountains and washhouses, its old church - or upper church, a mix of Romanesque and Gothic</p><p>As Provence Specialists, please note that we also conduct private tours, shore excursions, wine tasting tours departing from Toulon. Other important destinations to discover provence include the town of Aix en Provence, the Pont du Gard, the village of Les Baux de Provence, Chateauneuf du Pape for the wines, Van Gogh tours, the lavender fields, l'Isle sur la Sorgue River and village and so much more. For more information please contact our reservations team.</p><p><b>Provence Wine Tasting</b></p><p>On this Shore excursion from Marseille Port of Call, it is also possible to include a wine tasting session of Provence Wines. During the booking process, it will be possible for you to choose the number of villages in the Luberon that you would like to include.

[description] => <p>Embark on a vibrant private day trip from Marseille to visit the most beautiful villages of the Luberon. Let our Expert local guides introduce you to one of the most stunning regions of Provence.</p><p><b>Pick up at your Hotel in Marseille</b></p><p>Today we will come and pick you up at your Hotel in Marseille. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the itinerary and program of this private tour. Then, board your air conditioned vehicle and begin to make your way to the Luberon villages of Provence.</p><p>There are a number of villages that can be visited on this full day trip from Marseille. Below is our selection of Villages du Luberon that are worth a stop. It will be your driver/guide on the day of your tour that will go over this selection with you.</p><p>Depending on your wishes, your Expert guide will adapt the itinerary to your wishes. You will also have some free time in most villages so that you may explore on your own and lunch will be taken at your own expense in one of the villages on the way.</p><p><b>Our selection of Luberon Villages:</b></p><p><b>Gordes</b></p><p>Gordes is without a doubt the most famous of all Luberon villages. The downside to this is the high number of visitors that come to visit the village so we advise that if you do choose to visit this village, you should go there immediately so as to arrive early.</p><p>Classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France and facing the Luberon mountain range, the village is composed of small paved streets, known as calades, where it feels so nice to get lost in. To mostly appreciate this unique village, magic operates in spring and autumn as summer is very crowded by the number of visitors.</p><p><b>Lourmarin</b></p><p>The village of Lourmarin is quite unique. As you stroll the winding streets, the architecture in the village reveals its many riches: from the Renaissance to the Baroque period, from Classicism to the 19th century, the houses in Lourmarin highlight the incomparable know-how of those builders often little known to the general public. </p><p>Located in a gorgeous setting that is surrounded by olive and almond trees, the village has attracted numerous artists and writers such Henri Bosco and Albert Camus. Again, enjoy some time in the village where options include the visit of its ancient castle. The village was the source of inspiration for Peter Mayle’s “A year in Provence”.</p><p><b>Roussillon</b></p><p>The village of Roussillon is a typical hilltop village located just above a rock formation called the “Provencal Colorado“. Here, you will have some time for personal discovery that will allow you to stroll down the village or walk along the “ochre cliffs path", a 30 minute walk.</p><p><b>Bonnieux</b></p><p>The architecture of Bonnieux, papal town for about 500 years, testifies to the prestige of its inhabitants over the centuries: ecclesiastical dignitaries, counts, lords... up until the modern times of the 19th century. The village has kept all its authenticity, its steep sloping streets, its fountains and washhouses, its old church - or upper church, a mix of Romanesque and Gothic</p><p>As Provence Specialists, please note that we also conduct private tours, shore excursions, wine tasting tours departing from Toulon. Other important destinations to discover provence include the town of Aix en Provence, the Pont du Gard, the village of Les Baux de Provence, Chateauneuf du Pape for the wines, Van Gogh tours, the lavender fields, l'Isle sur la Sorgue River and village and so much more. For more information please contact our reservations team.</p><p><b>Provence Wine Tasting</b></p><p>On this private tour from Marseille, it is also possible to include a wine tasting session of Provence Wines. During the booking process, it will be possible for you to choose the number of villages in the Luberon that you would like to include. If you would like to include a wine tasting session, please only select the visit of 2 villages so that we have time to include the winery visit. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p>

[description] => <p>Experience a private full day guided tour from Marseille to the town of Arles and the authentic Provence villages of Saint-Remy and Les Baux de Provence.</p><p>Explore 3 stunning gems on this full day tour to Arles, listed by Unesco as a World Heritage Site because of the number of Roman Monuments, the village of Saint-Rémy de Provence, where Van Gogh lived for a year and the village of Les Baux de Provence medieval village.</p><p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide</b></p><p>In the morning, we will come and pick you up at your centrally located accommodation in Marseille. We can also pick up from a centrally located meeting point if you are staying in a rental accommodation. Meet your English speaking driver/guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you. Then board your premium A/C vehicle and begin your private tour led by a local guide.</p><p><b>Arles Town Visit</b></p><p>Upon arrival in Arles, it is possible to choose from different types of walking tours of this charming small town. Discover the Historic city of Arles, a fortified town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Participate in a walking tour of the historic center to visit the most emblematic monuments of the town including the Amphitheater, the Antique Theater or Saint Trophime church.</p><p><b>The Roman City & Sites</b></p><p>If History and Culture are of interest, then this option is the one you should choose. Arles underwent an urban revolution following the foundation of the Roman Colony of Arelate in 46 BP. Most of the Roman monuments that can be visited in Arles date back to the 1st Century though. The Roman Amphitheater was built at the end of the 1st century to the North of the town.</p><p>It is part of a general extension of Arles and was built at the same period of time as the baths. It is larger than the one located in Nîmes and could welcome up to 25.000 spectators. Antique Games will be held within until the fall of the Roman Empire.</p><p>The building of the Antique Theatre was requested by Emperor Auguste. It could welcome up to 10.000 spectators at a time. Only part of the Theater remains but it is still one of the most well preserved in France.</p><p>Used as a Theater until the beginning of the 5th century, it was then used as a quarry for the construction of the paleo-christian church of Saint Stephen. In the 17th century the famous Venus of Arles was discovered during early archeological digs.</p><p><b>The Roman Forum</b></p><p>Located at the intersection of the Cardo (north-south axis) and the Decumanus (east-west axis), the Roman Forum of Arles is made up of a great square of which only two fragments still exist. What is interesting about the Forum in Arles are the foundations as it is built on a cryptoporticus, which is a covered corridor or passageway.</p><p>The cryptoporticus were known to be used as storage areas in other towns but the one in Arles is, however, too damp for prolonged storage and may have served as a barracks for public slaves.</p><p><b>On the Footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh</b></p><p>If you are attracted to painting and wish to learn a bit more about the life of Van Gogh in Arles, then this option is perfect. During his stay in Arles between February 1888 and May 1889, Vincent Van Gogh executed about 300 paintings and drawings. The places in the city where the artist set up his easel are marked with panels representing his paintings. </p><p>During this tour, your guide will take through the town of Arles on the footsteps of Van Gogh to show you the setting of where some of the most famous paintings of the artist were done. To enhance this tour, it is also possible to purchase the tickets to the Arles Van Gogh Foundation during the booking process.</p><p><b>Saint-Rémy de Provence</b></p><p>Along the way, before reaching the small village of St Remy, enjoy a photo stop on the Plateau des Antiques to admire the Roman triumphal arch and Mausoleum. Visit Saint-Paul de Mausole where Van Gogh stayed a year. This lunatic asylum is where the artist voluntarily admitted himself after his breakdown in December 1888 that resulted in the self mutilation of his left ear. It is during his stay here that he will achieve some of his most famous paintings including the starry night.</p><p>Arrive in Saint Remy de Provence, one of the prettiest villages of the area. The village is known to be a summer hot spot for chic parisians, yet it is still possible to find some quiet areas within the village, as there are many small squares scattered all over. After the visit, free time for personal discovery and lunch. For your information, there is a beautiful Provence Market on Wednesdays.</p><p><b>Les Baux de Provence</b></p><p>Drive to the Alpilles mountain region that is famous for its vineyards and olive trees. Reach the medieval hilltop village of les Baux-de-Provence built on a rocky spur and from where you will have a breathtaking view of the surrounding Provence Countryside. Enjoy some free time to stroll and explore the narrow streets, Art galleries and the remains of a 10th century fortress.</p><p>Visit the Carrières de Lumières, a unique light and sound show in Europe located in an ancient limestone quarry (entrance ticket can be purchased during the booking process) where the natural 14 meter high limestone walls act like giant screens.</p><p>In the historic site of Les Baux de Provence in the heart of the Alpilles, the former quarries dug out by the hands of man since the Roman era today offer the visitor a magical world of entrancing images and music.</p><p>From these quarries was extracted the white limestone used to build Les Baux and its citadel. In the 19th century, industrial development increased the demand for building stone and des Baux exploited a large number of quarries, including the Grands Fonds, today the Carrières de Lumières.</p><p>After the visit of Les Baux de Provence village, we will return to Marseille and that will be the end of our services.</p>

We encourage guests to savor each tasting responsibly and at their own pace. Please remember that wine contains alcohol, and moderation helps you fully appreciate the flavors, keep a clear head throughout the tour, and make the most of your experience. <br /><br /><a href="https://wineinmoderation.eu/"><span style="color: #f78e6f;"><strong>What is moderation?</strong></span></a><br /><br /><strong>Please also note:</strong> In France, snacks are usually not provided during wine tastings to preserve the purity of the wine's flavor. We recommend having a good breakfast or lunch beforehand.<br /><br />In regards to the protection of the environment, we will no longer provide plastic bottles of water during our tours. You are kindly advised to bring your own. Water and refills are available at the wineries, museums and attractions visited.<br />
