Fantastic Provence day trip with Thomas - We had a great day trip with our guide Thomas who was exceptional. He was very entertaining and we all enjoyed the lively banter. The car was very comfortable. The first stop was the delightful village of Les Baux on top of a rocky outcrop. Then to pont du Gard with the amazing aqueduct built by the romans 2000 years ago. Next stop the walled city of Avignon and finally a wonderful visit to Cristy winery. The tasting was excellent. Thomas was a very safe driver and got us back to Aix in good time.

Great tour of Provence, even for the elderly - This was a beautiful and informative tour. Our guide, Donar I believe was his name, was very kind going above and beyond to help my elderly mother enjoy the trip. She even managed to see hilly Les Baux, as he dropped us off at the village. He gave us a great information about the history of the area and tips for the best views of the Pont du Gard. The winery made the trip a little long, but the scenery was beautiful.

Highlights of Provence - I had an amazing day touring Provence from Marseille and Aix. We went to Les Baux, Pont du Gard, Avignon, and a wine tour in Chateauneuf du Pape (also got to see the old castle). Sebastien was so knowledgeable with excellent English. The van comes with a microphone so everyone can hear very well. I learned a lot about the history and geography of the area. Our tour of 6 were all solo travelers who ended up choosing to have a lovely sit down lunch in Avignon. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a great overview of Provence in limited time. Not a good itinerary if you want to actually enter museums etc., but I loved making the most of the 1 day I had. I walked almost 14k steps, so plan accordingly.

A day in Provence… - **Review of A la Française Provence Tour 🌿🍷** Just returned from an incredible day exploring Provence with A la Française! Our guide, Marion, made the experience unforgettable with her extensive knowledge and passion for the region. We kicked off our adventure in the charming city of Aix-en-Provence, wandering through its picturesque streets and vibrant markets. Marion shared fascinating insights about the local culture and pointed out artisanal shops that showcased the best of Provence. Next, we visited the stunning Château des Baux-de-Provence, a historical gem dating back to the 10th century. It was amazing to learn that 22 descendants of the original family still live there today! The views from the castle were absolutely breathtaking, giving us a perfect backdrop for photos. 📸 After that, we marveled at the impressive Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct that left us in awe. Marion provided captivating details about its history and significance, making our visit even more special. Our tour continued to the iconic Palais des Papes in Avignon, where Marion brought a smile to our faces by singing the beloved children's song "Sur Le Pont D’Avignon." She also gave us great tips on where to eat, with so many delightful options around the Palais. A highlight of the day was the wine tasting at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where we visited the renowned Château de Pape winery. Marion’s expertise in wines was remarkable as she guided us through a selection of exquisite wines, capturing the true essence of Provence. 🍇🍷 Overall, the A la Française Provence tour was a perfect blend of history, culture, and gastronomy. I can't recommend this experience enough for anyone looking to explore the beautiful landscapes and rich heritage of Provence! #Provence #ALaFrançaise #WineTasting #ChâteauneufduPape #PontduGard #AixEnProvence #TravelGoals #ExploreFrance #HistoricalSites #WineLover #TravelDiary #Wanderlust

Aix-Baux-PontduGard-Avignon-Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Day long trip from Aix to Avignon with some great stops along the way. The drive provides a good opportunity to see the countryside and is broken up nicely. We had a dinner reservation in Avignon and requested to be dropped off rather than travel back to Aix-en Provence. It worked out beautifully. Sebastian was a wonderful guide - friendly & knowledgeable. .
