Wine, cathedrals and the art of the good life
A journey through the sun and colour of the French south, from the Roman heritage of Provence to the lavender country of the Luberon and the glittering coastline of the Riviera. The route balances markets, art and landscape with time by the Mediterranean.
A suggested flow for Provence & the French Riviera. Every day is flexible, we build the final routing, pace and hotels around you.
Your journey begins in Marseille. Arrival and welcome; transfer to Marseille and an evening at the Vieux-Port beneath Notre-Dame de la Garde. Timings stay flexible, with room to linger where you like.
