Itinerary
Your guide collects you from your accommodation and the journey begins, passing through or stopping briefly in Aix-en-Provence depending on your preference. This sets the tone for a day that moves at your pace.
The first main stop is the village of Les Baux-de-Provence, where cobbled streets wind past medieval monuments and the Rocher des Baux rises like a stone vessel above the Alpilles. The remains of the feudal keep offer a vivid sense of the site's long history as both stronghold and refuge. The village is open year-round and recognized by the French Ministry of Culture as a remarkable heritage site.
The route continues to Saint-Remy-de-Provence, a town closely associated with Vincent van Gogh, who painted Starry Night and other defining works here between May 1889 and May 1890. Stroll through the historic center, browse art galleries, and enjoy the small squares adorned with fountains that have attracted artists and visitors for generations.
The day concludes in Isle sur la Sorgue, a town built around its waterways and famous across France for its antique dealers and Sunday markets. The historic water wheels are still in operation, and a cluster of waterside restaurants and cafes makes this a relaxed final stop before the return journey.
Your driver-guide brings you back to your accommodation at the end of the day, completing a full private door-to-door service. The exact return time depends on the pace and any adjustments made during the day.
