    After a short drive from Avignon and your tour guide's commentary along the way, experience the peaceful surroundings of St Paul de Mausole's asylum, where the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh created masterpieces like "The Starry Night" or "Irises". Don't miss the remains of the former Roman town of Glanum that are to be admired just across the street. Please note that the hospital is still in use today. Visiting the replica of Van Gogh’s room is not included in this tour. There is either no time or very limited time available to see it, so the focus will be on the exteriors and the final part of the St Remy Van Gogh Walk, where boards represent some of the artist’s most famous works.

    Les Baux de Provence

Perched like an eagle’s nest on a rocky plateau overlooking the vast Camargue, Les Baux is much more than a medieval fortress—it’s a place to wander, explore charming shops, discover local crafts, and soak up the timeless Provençal atmosphere.
