Description:

Explore the treasures of idyllic Provence in just one afternoon. Marvel at impressive panoramas in Luberon, explore Roman monuments such as the magnificent Pont du Gard and stroll in the hilltop medieval villages of Les Baux-de-Provence and Gordes.

As you travel through the countryside of Provence, marvel at its charming landscape of rolling hills covered with olive groves as far as the eye can see. Reach the imposing Pont du Gard and admire this ancient Roman aqueduct bridge, a technical masterpiece built in the first century and renowned as one of the highest and best preserved Roman bridges.

Next, arrive in Les Baux-de-Provence, a stunning medieval village perched on a rock. See the remains of the ancient castle and admire the breathtaking panorama of the Provence countryside from the top of the walls. Stroll through the narrow cobbled alleys of this charming town and pass by quaint houses, art galleries, craft shops, and restaurants.

Continue you way through Gordes, a picturesque village in the UNESCO-listed Luberon Natural Regional Park, a wild and rugged mountainous area. See its impressive 16th-century fortified castle complete with imposing towers and an enormous doorway. Stroll in its tight alleyways and arcades and admire the breathtaking view over the Luberon plain.
