"When God created the sun, the earth, the mountains and seas, and put them in place, he realised that a little of each remained. So he gathered the bits together to make a paradise and the Provence was born." We have created this tour especially for people who want to spend an extraordinary time in Provence and in the best 3 and 4 star hotels. |

Through the gorgeous valleys of the rivers Rhône, Ardèche and Tarn you approach the city of Millau, interrupted by a couple of hills in the Cevennes area.
