The Best of Provence - Tour Overview
We've traded Provence's iconic lavender fields for dazzling carpets of crimson poppies, and the heat of summer for the cool breezes of springtime. Join us as we discover the villages, vineyards, markets, and Mediterranean coastline that make Provence one of France's most unforgettable destinations.
Experience the very best of Provence on this intimate nine-day journey through one of France's most enchanting regions, where picturesque hilltop villages, vibrant markets, world-class cuisine, celebrated wines, and breathtaking Mediterranean landscapes come together in unforgettable fashion. Designed for travelers who appreciate authentic local experiences over hurried sightseeing, this small-group tour blends iconic destinations with hidden gems, allowing you to discover Provence the way locals know and love it.
Your adventure begins in elegant Aix-en-Provence, where tree-lined boulevards, bustling markets, and centuries-old food traditions set the tone for the week ahead. Explore colorful farmers' markets, stroll historic streets with expert local guides, and sample the flavors that have made Provence a culinary destination for generations. Along the way you'll visit the ancient Roman city of Arles, charming Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the papal city of Avignon, and the stunning hilltop villages of Gordes and Roussillon, each offering its own unique blend of history, culture, and Provençal charm.
Beyond its beautiful villages, Provence reveals some of France's most spectacular natural scenery. Cruise aboard a catamaran through the dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of the Calanques National Park near Cassis, wander among olive groves in the Alpilles, and explore the vibrant ochre landscapes surrounding Roussillon. Every day brings a new perspective—from Mediterranean coastlines to vineyard-covered valleys—showcasing the extraordinary diversity of this remarkable region.
Food and wine are woven into every day of the journey. Enjoy guided food tastings in Aix-en-Provence, visit a fifth-generation olive estate, spend a day discovering the celebrated wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with an expert sommelier, browse one of Provence's finest weekly markets, and roll up your sleeves during a hands-on cooking class in Avignon before sitting down to savor your creations. Carefully selected restaurants, regional wines, and authentic local producers provide an immersive culinary experience that captures the true flavors of southern France.
With a maximum of just 16–18 guests, this tour offers a relaxed pace, exceptional personal attention, and meaningful connections with both fellow travelers and the people of Provence. Charming boutique hotels in Aix-en-Provence and Saint-Rémy, knowledgeable local guides, thoughtfully curated experiences, and ample free time to explore ensure that every traveler returns home with lasting memories of extraordinary landscapes, unforgettable meals, and the timeless beauty of Provence.
Come join us this season in Provence for the time of your life!
"Dear Pam and Sam (and all the other wonderful people behind the scenes!),
As a returning traveler with Tuscany Tours, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than The Best of Provence! All of the tours and excursions we did were truly a once in a lifetime experience. From seeing the lavender fields in full bloom to visiting the ancient Roman aqueduct at Ponte du Gard, picnicking outside a lavender festival, shopping in St. Remy and Aix-en-Provence, visiting the places that inspired van Gogh and Cézanne, wine tasting at Chateauneuf-du-Pape with a backdrop of Provence to enjoying a rustic French dinner in the middle of a vineyard – the trip was one “oh this is my favorite day” to “no, THIS is my favorite day!”.
