Incredible Excursions Included in this itinerary:
Arles Walking Tour
Join a local expert for a stroll through Arles’, witness the atmospheric beauty where Van Gogh painted some 200 paintings, including Starry Night over the Rhône. |
Lyon Capital of Gastronomy Tour

Avignon Walking Tour with Palace of the Popes
Avignon was the city of the popes. The Avignon popes built the ramparts that still surround the Old Town and the huge, nearly impregnable fortress that dominates the UNESCO-designated district; Stand below the high, thick walls to get a sense of just how daunting these fortifications were, then prepare to climb many steps as you tour the Palace of the Popes itself—it’s worth it! |
