This private tour of Provence features Avignon, which
was home of the papacy in the 14th century,
and perhaps the largest and the most beautiful
house of the Gothic world. You’ll have the
“chance to dance on the Old Bridge St Benezet,”
as the song goes, and discover the rich architectural
heritage (churches, former bishoprics, clock
towers).
OPTIONAL: For lunch, you can enjoy a unique and casual
tasting experience in one of Avignon’s indoor
markets, where mouth-watering platters of olives,
tapenades, cured meats, organic breads
and local cheeses will be prepared especially
for you in a very Provençal atmosphere.
After lunch, your private tour of Provence continues
to Pont du Gard. This huge, perfectly preserved
Roman aqueduct supplied running water to the
city of Nimes and beyond. This marvel of engineering
work has endured two millennia, attracting
scientists, artists and visitors from all over
the world. Your guide will show you the 1,000-year-old
olive tree a few yards away from this incredible
site. This is one of the highlights of this
Provence guided tour. This magnificent monument
is situated at the rim of Gardon Canyon. From
its heights, one can admire the landscape of
the valley and follow the flow of the Gard
River, tributary of the Rhône.
