Welcome to Aix-en-Provence!

O centro de Aix-en-Provence é um labirinto animado de ruas estreitas, praças arborizadas e arquitetura elegante. No seu coração fica o Cours Mirabeau, uma avenida arborizada perfeita para passear e observar as pessoas em um de seus muitos cafés.

O centro histórico está repleto de mercados coloridos, boutiques e padarias artesanais.

Three carefully selected Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence AOP wines – white, rosé, and red – are served at the perfect temperature, uncorked on site. The tasting is complemented by a light aperitif of organic local products, including tapenades, charcuterie, goat’s cheese, nuts, with options suitable for vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, and non-alcoholic preferences.

A refined celebration of Provençal flavors in an extraordinary natural setting.

Private guided hiking tour of les Calanques

Discover the stunning coastline between Marseille and Cassis on a guided walking tour through the region’s iconic calanques. Your day begins in the charming seaside town of Cassis, before setting off toward the calanque of Port Miou and continuing on to the beautiful inlet of Port Pin.

Follow a rocky trail that climbs above the cliffs, then descend to the spectacular calanque of En Vau – an ideal spot to swim and relax in a breathtaking natural setting.

A picnic lunch, arranged by your guide, will be enjoyed along the way before returning to Cassis. With plenty of swimming opportunities, this excursion is a wonderful choice for families with children.

Day 3: Kayaking in the Verdon

Tour privado de luxo pela região de Verdon com motorista-guia

Northeast of Provence is famous for its incredible scenery: Verdon River sneaks in between the plateau where olive trees and lavender fields are overlapping, and in the background, the Alps mountains launch into the horizon. During this day, you will be part of this dreaming frame.

Your driver guide will pick you up at your hotel and drive you to unique points of view on Sainte-Croix Lake, typical Provencal villages with their terracotta roofs and colorful street markets. On the way, during the lavender season (from June to mid-July), the Valensole plateau is vibrant with violet colors.

You will visit typical Provencal villages with their pink tiles roofs and colorful street markets like Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. From there, you will discover the Verdon Canyon in full autonomy, with your canoe. Between cliffs over 60 meters high and the turquoise water of the canyon, take time to observe the spectacular scenery with the sound of the water as a soundtrack.

At the end of this well-rounded day, your driver guide will drop you back to your hotel.

Day 4: Biking and wine tasting in Chateauneuf du Pape

Free time to explore the village or choose a lunch at a local bistro at your own pace. Combining the natural beauty of Provence with its rich wine heritage.

Day 5 : Hiking in the Alpilles

Private Hike in the Alpilles from Saint-Rémy

Encontre seu guia especializado local que fala inglês em Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

Your guided (moderate level) hike begins in the center of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. You’ll climb up a scenic botanical path through the heart of the scenic Alpilles Mountains. You’ll head up to the picturesque crest of the jagged limestone hills. On a clear day, the Mediterranean is visible to the south, while Mont Ventoux paints the backdrop to the north. You then take a spectacular, narrow footpath that follows the top of the jagged limestone crags, with continuous stunning views in all directions. There is some light scrambling, though no danger is involved.

After a picnic in the middle of the Alpilles, you’ll start your return journey on another path. The olive and cypress trees lead you past magnificent villas and farmhouses and to Saint Paul de Mausole: the asylum that Vincent Van Gogh called home the last year of his life. We will visit the asylum, and then return to Saint-Rémy, where, depending on the day of the week and the season, we will taste some of the region’s prized olive oil.

Day 6: Biking and Kayaking in Isle sur la Sorgue

Motorista particular disponível durante todo o dia 

Private Guided E-Bike and Kayak Tour in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

The bike ride starts in the charming town of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the antique capital of Provence, also called Provencal Venice. Its quays are lined with ancient waterwheels, and the whole village is made a tiny island by the emerald waters of the Sorgue river, circling completely around it.

After the town’s picturesque streets, we ride into the heart of the countryside. Quickly, the town gives way to farmland: ancient farmhouses are set by apple and pear orchards, while table grapes are grown here too. Completely off the beaten path and devoid of hills, your guide will lead you on tiny country roads with very little traffic.

You will enjoy lunch at a restaurant in Fontaine de Vaucluse, a pretty village centered around a beautiful greenish-blue pool of the newly born Sorgue river. After lunch, you will ride to Lagnes and descend the clear, emerald-colored Sorgue river by canoe for 2 hours, back to Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Day 7: Hiking in the Luberon

Private guided hiking tour to Senanques Abbaye

Your hiking tour will start in Gordes, a splendid village built above a rocky peak. It’s magnificent stone houses rising dramatically in concentric circles to its castle.

On your way to the picturesque Abbaye de Sénanque, you will cross over the lavender and thyme-laden fields which is scattered with old stone huts. You can take some time to explore the true gem of the Provençal Romanesque style, Sénanque Abbey, which is also one of the finest examples of primitive Cistercian architecture, built in the 12th século.
