IProvence Tours: We are very happy to celebrate the 14th year of our tour! This personalized and intimate eight-day "Provence France Markets & Villages" guided-tour is directed by Anne-Marie Hampton, a French Ph.D., native of Provence. This tour, limited to 10 to 12 participants, combines three of France's most important attractions: Mediterranean cuisine, wine, and art. Our guests explore medieval villages: Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, les Baux, Ménerbes (famous for Peter Mayle's books on Provence); Châteaux and abbeys in the Luberon countryside: Lacoste (home to the castle of the Marquis de Sade), the Abbaye de Sénanque; the Palace of the Popes in Avignon; and such Roman wonders as the Antiques in St.Rémy-de-Provence and the Arena in Arles. You will also visit famous Côtes-du-Rhône wineries, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, antique and food markets in Isle-sur-Sorgue, art galleries and artist sudios, and shop for Provençal fabrics, lavender perfumes and soaps, and visit the Lavender Museum. |
