Self-Guided Walking in Provence

Self-Guided Walking in Provence Overview

Explore France on foot and immerse yourself in the romance of Luberon and the Alpille mountains

Provence is a wonder for the senses; the instantly recognisable scents of lavender and thyme fill the air; the landscape is simply Van Gogh’s art brought to life and the food and wine will leave you wanting more. It is these characteristics which create the magical atmosphere of Provencal life. Starting your holiday in Avignon you will discover the history of life along the Rhone before stepping into the Alpilles landscapes, which inspired some of Van Gogh’s greatest work, to walk to Les Baux de Provence, officially recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in France. You have a free day mid-week to immerse yourself into the gorgeous villages of Arles and Isle sur la Sorgue. Throughout the week, your walks take you to pretty villages and dreamy and scented landscapes of thyme and lavender fields, vineyards and orchards. You will stay in charming guesthouses and hotels on a bed and breakfast basis allowing you the opportunity to dine in the many fantastic restaurants the region offers. You will also step off the beaten track to experience the rustic charm of Auberge des Seguins nestled beneath the Aiguebrun Gorge. This technology-free haven is the perfect place to unwind with its rural location, swimming pool and communal dining on home cooked Provencal specialties. This is a slice of authentic Provencal life from which to explore on foot.
