Program / Schedule of the day

You will start the outing at the famous site of the Pont du Gard.

On the Unesco World Heritage List, it is the best preserved section of the Roman aqueduct which brought drinking water to the city of Nîmes.

You will continue toward les Baux de Provence

In the heart of the Alpilles Natural Regional Park, you will have some free time to discover this charming village built on a 245 m-high rocky spur. A pedestrian only historical center will take you toward beautiful medieval vestiges.

Then toward the antiquities of Saint Remy de Provence

For a photo stop before the sublime Arc de Triomphe and the Mausoleum, dating from the 1st century BC.  Both located in the heart of landscapes painted by Van Gogh.

Then, you will continue your journey toward Roussillon, famous for its ocher cliffs which will offer you an unusual spectacle.

And toward Gordes, perched village, known for its architecture of dry stones.

A breath-taking landscape will greet you!

When the lavender is in flower (from June 15 to July 15 only) you will be able to photograph one of the most beautiful postcards of the region: The Abbey Of Senanque

This abbey is a masterpiece of primitive Cistercian architecture

And finally, to end the day : visit of the lavender museum

(except in January when it’s closed) you can discover the symbol of Provence: lavender, thanks to a museum totally dedicated to it.

During the harvest (July and August) you will see a demonstration of distillation.

Free time will permit you to enjoy each one of these sites and to have lunch (not included, organization optional)

Some days you can linger between the stands in a Provençal market, in Gordes on Tuesday, in St. Rémy de Provence on Wednesday, in Roussillon on Thursday and on Sunday at L'isle sur la Sorgue (world renowned town for its antique dealers, its canals and its typically Provençal streets).

The order of visits can be modified accordingly.
