Step into the enchanting landscapes of Provence on a small-group day trip from Avignon, exploring the sites that inspired Vincent Van Gogh and the region’s remarkable Roman heritage. Experience the relaxed pace and personal attention that comes with a group limited to just eight travelers.
Begin your journey with a visit to St Paul de Mausole’s asylum, where Van Gogh created some of his most iconic paintings. Stroll the grounds and follow part of the Van Gogh Walk, admiring outdoor displays of his masterpieces, before glimpsing the ancient remains of the Roman town of Glanum nearby.
Continue through scenic vineyards and olive groves to the perched medieval village of Les Baux de Provence. Wander its charming pedestrian streets, enjoy panoramic views over the Alpilles, and browse local boutiques in this historic fortress town nestled atop a rocky plateau.
Next, head to Arles, a vibrant city rich in Roman monuments and artistic history. With maps and insider tips from your guide, explore UNESCO-listed sites, walk in Van Gogh’s footsteps, and discover the flavors of Provence at your own pace. Don’t miss the bustling local market if you visit on a Wednesday or Saturday.
In the afternoon, marvel at the engineering wonder of the Pont du Gard, a 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct spanning the Gardon River. Enjoy a shaded riverside walk and, on warm days, cool off in the water for a unique perspective. Secure your spot now and immerse yourself in the art, history, and beauty of Provence!
