Day Trip Details

We will gather at the tourist office in Avignon at the designated time to board a minibus for our excursion through Provence. Are you prepared to explore one of France's most enchanting regions? Let's begin!

Our first destination will be Roussillon, a charming village renowned for its ochre-hued buildings. A stroll through this picturesque location, often regarded as one of the most beautiful in France, will allow you to appreciate the famous ochre cliffs, including Le Sentier des Ocres. The village’s central square, adorned with vibrant flowers, will provide an ideal backdrop for your photos. If your trip falls on a Thursday, enjoy a visit to its traditional market.

We will then proceed to the picturesque Gordes, known as the hanging village of France. A brief stop at an overlook will offer stunning views for your photographs, after which we’ll continue inland towards Fontaine de Vaucluse. Here, you will have the opportunity to stroll along the path by the Sorgues River and enjoy some free time at a local eatery.

Our next stop will be the heart of Saint Rémy, a village surrounded by captivating scenery and architecture. Did you know that Vincent Van Gogh drew inspiration for his paintings from this area?

Continuing our journey, we will visit Les Baux de Provence, where you'll have approximately an hour of free time to wander through this historic medieval fortress at your own pace.

Afterward, we’ll make our way to the renowned Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct constructed in the first century. You'll discover its impressive preservation and learn about its significance to the surrounding communities.

In conclusion, we will return to Avignon, arriving back at our starting point after an enriching 10.5-hour adventure.
