Meet your guide at a central meeting point and begin the scenic journey into the Provençal countryside. Arrive at the ancient Roman town of Orange and explore the Théâtre antique d’Orange (Antique Theater of Orange) with your guide’s informed commentary.
Then continue on to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Take in the undulating vineyard views and learn some of this region’s storied winemaking history. Stop at a vineyard to learn about local wine varietals and sample a few fine wines. Have time to explore on your own and stop for lunch (own expense).
Next, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pont du Gard Roman aqueduct, and continue on to the fortified medieval village Les Baux de Provence for views and photo-ops.
Finally, visit hilltop Luberon villages—Roussillon and Gordes—and admire the mountain ranges and alluring light, which captured the imaginations of some of the world’s most celebrated artists.
