A Provencale Epicurean Adventure

Highlights

Sun-dappled, lavender and thyme-scented and blessed with a landscape that has inspired some of the world’s greatest artists, Provence is a feast for all the senses. For generations, food lovers have made a pilgrimage to the south of France, delighting in its bustling markets, savoring its wines and relishing its cuisine provencale – a Mediterranean melange that features olive oils, garlic and its signature aromatic local herbs.

Our 5 day/4 night package offers a delicious taste of Provence, beginning with a tour of the historic Avignon and days in the countryside exploring picture postcard villages and experiencing life provencale. The itinerary incorporates guided market visits – including the famous L’Isle Sur Sorgues and its antique stores, hands-on cooking, wine tastings and more.
