Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and I will be your native guide in this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 circuits I propose, today I'm taking you to Arles and Les Baux de Provence.
We will first go for a walk in the city of Arles, several of whose buildings are inscribed on the UNESCO list. You will discover several during this walk (from November to March, you will have lunch in the city, not included in the price).
Then, we will stop at the Moulin Castelas to visit the mill and taste several olive oils before having a picnic of excellent fresh products from local farms (only from April to October).
Then, you will attend the fabulous image show of the Carrières des Lumières, a former limestone extraction site. You'll come out with stars in your eyes!
Finally, you will have free time in the Baux de Provence, to stroll through its alleys, on a terrace or in its shops.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Wait for me in front of the Le Bristol hotel. My car is black with Ventourisme on the sides. If you are not staying in Avignon intramural, please contact me to arrange a better meeting point.
