Itinerary
A cool and quiet wellspring in winter and summer, and a surging and impetuous torrent in in spring and autumn, the Fontaine is a real wonder of nature which never ceases to amaze.The spring is the most copiously productive in Europe, and one of the largest in the world, by volume of water.
This is a real postcard picture.Gordes is one of the most well-known hilltop villages in the region.
Photo stop only during Lavender blossom season (last week of June until mid-July)
Roussillon is located in the very heart of the biggest ochre deposits in the world, and is distinguished by a wide palette of flamboyant colours. Wandering the narrow streets, stairs and squares in Roussillon opens your eyes to the beautiful natural pigments used throughout the village, and the millennium-old knowledge of how to use this generous natural gift. In Roussillon, man has long worked in harmony with nature. Lunch stop
While strolling through the narrow winding streets you will discover fantastic old fountains, shady squares, picturesque restaurants and elegant boutiques. Walking tour.
This immense and superb stone fortress is without doubt one of the "must-sees" in Provence. The village is officially classified and labelled as "one of the most beautiful villages in France".
Pont du Gard, a masterpiece of ancient architecture built halfway through the 1st century AD. It is the principal construction in a 50 km long aqueduct that supplied the city of Nîmes, formerly known as Nemausus, with water. Built as a three-level aqueduct standing 50 m high, it allowed water to flow across the Gardon river.

This was an excellent tour! Our guide, Kelsey, was informative and thorough. She gave us excellent direcection at each location. We were in a group of 8 and it was a great mix of lovely people. Everyone respected the departure times we were given. Each stop was very nice And we were given time to explore these areas. The Provence area is gorgeous! This is a wonderful way to explore the Provence region. Highly recommend this trip!
Great tour although very long, but had a great day even though it was in heat ranging from 36-40 degrees. This was made easier by our guide and her professionalism, personality and knowledge.
Natalie was our guide. She was very knowledgeable of the region. Learned a lot more about different towns in Provence.
It was a great experience, and without a car, would never have been able to view that much of Provence in a day. Kelsey was very knowledgeable about the area and did a great job in sharing her wisdom with a bright and sparkling personality.
Natalie was our van’s guide of 5 people. She was quite knowledgeable of the region and very interesting. I would recommend the full day tour. It is the best way to see these stunning towns.
It was EXCELLENT. The guide Natali was IMPECCABLE. I highly recommend it; they gave us a complete overview of each of the towns we visited, shared their history, and recommended places for lunch at different price points, everything was more than satisfactory!!!
Magical tour! My guide (young girl from Jamaica though sadly I never caught her name) was absolutely amazing and the villages are all so different and beautiful!!
Check the weather forecast before you go as we had glorious hot and sunny weather in the morning but the heavens opened up for a few hours in the afternoon but then did brighten up again by the end of the day.
Very effective way to see Provence in a day! We enjoyed the smaller group (we had two people outside of our family of four) and got a great sense of where we’d like to visit when we come back. Guide was very friendly and patient with our children.
Great overview of the area. Very insightful. Loved the small sized group. Had everything we were hoping to experience.
