Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and will be your native Guide of this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 tours I offer, I take you today to Arles and its surroundings, in the country of Van Gogh.
We will first go to a breathtaking viewpoint on Les Baux de Provence, a medieval village built on a rocky promontory. You will then see the fabulous image show of the Quarries of Lights, former place of limestone extraction. You will come out with stars full of eyes!
Then we will stop at the Moulin Castelas. You will visit the mill and taste several olive oils, before picnicking under the fig trees, with only fresh produce from local farms.
We will then stroll through the city of Arles, where you will discover its rich Roman, medieval and contemporary history.
Finally, you will have free time in St Rémy de Provence, where you will stroll through its alleys, on the terrace of coffee or in its souvenir shops.
