PROVENCE DISCOVERY

15 days, 14 guests, 3 luxury villas

OUR 2025 TRIP IS SOLD OUT.

A group of 14 people, sharing a very comfortable villa and over a 14 night/15 day period, will explore three of the principal regions of Provence:

1) The Luberon: A more rural part of the region, stretching east from beyond Avignon to Apt, in the valley between the slopes of the Luberon mountains to the south and the Vaucluse plateau to the north.  There are no big cities in this part of Provence - only small villages and towns, many perched above the valley.  Very green and surrounded by forests and mountains.  

2) Les Alpilles: A rugged outcropping of snow-white limestone hills with the Rhône river to the west and rich farmlands all around.  This region appealed to the Romans 2,000 years ago, and more recently inspired artists and writers such as Van Gogh and Alphonse Daudet.  This is one of the most important olive producing regions of France. 

3) Comtat Venaissin: Until (relatively) recently under the control of the popes, the Comtat Venaissin with the imposing Mont Ventoux to the east and the Rhône river to the west is where you'll find famous vineyards, ancient cities and some of the prettiest villages in all of France.

Our trip will expose you to the wonderful diversity of Provence - from colourful village markets, lavender distilleries, Roman achaeological treasures, vineyards, amazing cheeses and pleasant countryside walks. Our comfortable villas have heated pools - and we’ve hired a “chef-at-home” who will prepare a variety of delicious evening meals for you, inspired by culinary traditions all around the Mediterranean sea.
