Your private Provence tour guide will take you to some of
the most intriguing ancient ruins of Provence, nestled in the majestic Alpilles
mountains. Your first stop on this tour is the village of Les Baux de Provence, located on
a rocky plateau at the heart of the Alpilles.
5,000-year-old Les Baux boasts a majestic castle,
labyrinth streets and breathtaking views. Its
castle, dating from 950 A.D., was carved from
the living rock it stands on.
Next, your Provence tour will also take you on a tour of St. Remy de Provence,
located on the slopes of the Alpilles mountains. You
will fall in love with St. Remy’s charming
streets and ancient fountains. You will
walk through the town center or you will get a glimpse the house where Nostradamus was born
in 1503. Your Provence private tour also takes you to the
ancient Roman site of Glanum, where you can
walk amongst the ruins of the Forum, monuments
and baths in a Gaulish-Roman necropolis that
dates from 30 B.C. You can sample some dishes
from ancient Rome in an open-air terraced restaurant
overlooking the Forum ruins, and sample wine from the "Vallée des Baux."
Your final stop on your guided tour of Provence will be Pont du
Gard, a huge, perfectly preserved Roman aqueduct
that 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 tour 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 tour, a fabulous day trip. 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. You
will explore a number of other sights here
before concluding this interesting tour of
ancient Provence.
