"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."A nice and nearly true story, isn't it? Provence and Camargue: The land of light, colours and scents. For these reasons, many well known painters have lived in Provence: Picasso, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, Cézanne, Chagall ... The Mediterranean climate is pleasant, the sun shines more than 3000 hours a year. The people are living outside, even during the winter, play "Pétanque" and drink their "Pastis". 

Provence has not only an easy way of live, but it is also one of the richest cultural regions of Europe. Numerous monuments testify a long and great past since the Greek and Roman period going to the Middle Ages and, at last, to the last centuries. Avignon: the famous Papal Palace (world patrimony), the medieval town and its impressive city wall; Glanum: Greek and Roman monuments; Les Baux: medieval town in the Alpilles; Tarascon: the greatest fortified castle of the Rhone valley; Arles: the whole city has been classified as world patrimony because of its numerous Roman and medieval monuments; Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer: little village between the sea, the sky and the Camargue; St. Gilles: with its beautiful Romanesque church with its crypt (which has also been declared world patrimony); Pont du Gard: aqueduct over the Gardon river, the best conserved of the Roman empire, world patrimony. And finally our tour takes you to Uzès one of the most beautiful villages in Provence.

On top of all that you will discover the national park and nature reserve Camargue, the great delta of the Rhone river, where water, channels and seas attract thousands of birds - some of which are very rare; its symbols are the white horses and the black bulls. Finally, we have to mention the quality of the wine and the food. During the cycle tour you’ll discover the amazing meals of Provence and their Mediterranean flavours.

And last but not least: you stay in some of the most beautiful 4 star hotels in the Provence!
