About this tour

What to expect
You'll travel in a climate-controlled car with a knowledgeable driver who speaks English fluently and knows the region well. Stops are yours to request—whether you want to photograph a hilltop village, visit a small chapel, or simply stretch your legs in a market square. The landscape shifts noticeably as you move through Provence; expect rolling vineyards, dramatic geological formations, and stone villages that feel genuinely lived-in rather than staged. The driver won't rush you, so you can linger at viewpoints or shops as long as you wish. Museum entries and lunch are on you, leaving flexibility for what you actually want to do.
Good to know
Budget around €40 per person if you plan museum or monument visits. Bring or buy lunch en route—many villages have bakeries and shops. Wear layers; the vehicle is well-air-conditioned. Prams fold easily if you need to step into narrower old-town streets. July and August can be hot; mornings are ideal for walking about.
