Your magical day begins in Marseille, where you’ll meet your friendly guide and board your comfortable minivan before setting out into the awe-inspiring Alpilles mountain ranges. Here, you’ll discover the medieval hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence and find yourself transported into a distant, magical past.

Your tour will then take you to the resplendent Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard, an absolute masterpiece and an icon of Roman architectural ingenuity. One of the best-preserved aqueducts in the world, the Pont du Gard once brought fresh spring water to the town of Nimes.

Continuing on to alluring Avignon, the ‘City of Popes’, enjoy the awesome approach, which takes you along the stunning Rhone River and through the majestic medieval walls.
