Join us in Provence for an enriching travel experience designed for today’s active, culturally curious travelers. See luminous Provençal landscapes through the eyes of Cézanne in an art history lesson, inside his studio and on a hike up Inspiration Point outside of Aix. Stroll along the medieval lanes of Gordes and the ochre-colored paths of Roussillon. Learn a few phrases en Français during a French class, how to shop – and cook – like a chef in Avignon, how to distinguish the finer points of wine tasting from a sommelier and how olive oil is produced at a private olive orchard. So that you feel like a local, we’ll take you pub crawling in St.-Rémy-de-Provence, picnicking near Abbaye de Sénanque, hiking in the Luberon and kayaking down the Sorgue River. Your chic boutique retreats, including a quintessential 18th-century Provençal mansion, a stone farmhouse and a small luxury hotel with soul-stirring views of Chaines des Alpilles, add even more joie de vivre to this magical weeklong trip!
