Half Day Avignon & Pont du GardLocated in the heart of Southern France, Avignon claims both scenic views of the Rhone River valley and a rich array of cultural landmarks that demonstrate its history. On this 4 hour tour, see the physical remains of the 14th century Avignon Papacy, including the fantastic gothic palace where the Popes chose to rule, instead of Rome. Among the other medieval wonders is the Pont d’Avignon, a 12th century bridge which now only partially spans the river. Finally, visit the Pont du Gard just outside the city. Towering over the River Gardon, the majesty of this Roman aqueduct’s stacked arches is rivaled only by the impressive engineering of its design. 4 hrs |

Half Day Les Baux, St. Remy and ArlesSee for yourself why the monumental remnants of historical Provence have long been settings of inspiration on this 4 hour journey. The first of these is the citadel of Les Baux: a medieval fortress perched atop a towering rocky hilltop, commanding panoramic views of the countryside below. The ruined castle hosts regular demonstrations using its extensive collection of medieval catapults. Next is Saint Remy, whose skyline is immortalized in Van Gogh’s Starry Night. The tour finishes with the spectacular Roman ruins of Arles, including an arena, theater, and bath complex. 4 hrs |

Full Day ProvenceExplore all that the Southern French countryside has to offer with this 8 hour day of sightseeing across Provence. The day begins in Aix-en-Provence where shaded avenues, lavish houses, and glittering fountains decorate the region’s historical capital. Continue on to Avignon, where the medieval Palais des Papes once housed the Papal court. More medieval wonder is in store at the fortress of Les Baux, where towering ruined parapets and dramatic views await. The heritage of the first Roman province outside Italy is kept alive by the aqueduct of Pont du Gard, and the monumental ruins in St. Remy and Arles, where the tour will finish. 8 hrs |

Full Day Vaison-la-Romaine & LuberonTraverse the rolling hills and valleys of the Luberon mountains to discover the hidden gems of Provence on this 9 hour tour. In the morning, set out towards Vaison-la-Romaine. Here you will find three villages in one: Roman, Medieval and Modern. Each part of town holds its own nostalgic charm, be it in the airy columns of a Roman villa or quaint, winding paths of the medieval hilltop. Climbing further into the hills, you will reach the hamlet of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, where the River Sorgue springs from the imposing cliffs behind town. The first of the Luberon hilltops, Gordes, is the next stop. Here you will be charmed by the serene Senanque Abbey, with its rustic chapel and rolling lavender fields. Also in Gordes is the mysterious stone Village des Bories, a collection of stone huts with unknown origins. Finish the day with jaunts through the various hilltop towns, including Menerbes and Bonnieux. 9 hrs |
