Small-Group Guided Day-Trip around Historical Provence from Avignon

Avignon, France

Discover Provence, its Roman masterpieces and the places which have inspired the famous painter Van Gogh. Visit Saint Paul de Mausole, Les Baux de Provence, Arles, the Pont du Gard, and enjoy a wine tasting in Châteauneuf du Pape.

Your first stop will be Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, the famous psychiatric hospital where Van Gogh stayed - the area inspired him to many of his masterpieces.

Next, travel to Les-Baux-de-Provence, and have a walk in one of the most beautiful French villages nestling high up in the beautiful scenery of the Alpilles.

Afterwards, enjoy strolling through the streets of Arles, source of inspiration for many artists and wonderful testimony of over 2000 years of history (with its picturesque Provencal market on Wednesdays and Saturdays).

Move on to the Pont-du-Gard, a perfect example of the true genius of Roman engineers (entrance fee included).

Lastly, taste the most famous wine of the Rhône valley at Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the village the Avignon Popes chose for their holidays, and discover its history in the Wine Museum (entrance fee and wine tasting included), before being driven back to Avignon.
