Visit the best of Provence in one day for a unique experience !
First let's go back in history! In the 14th century, Avignon was the seat of the papacy.
The Palais des Papes, an austere-looking fortress, dominates the city, the surrounding ramparts and the remains of a 12th-century bridge over the Rhône.
In the 6th century the Benedictine abbey of St André was founded on Mount Andaon, and the village which grew up round it took its name. The city itself was founded by Philippe le Bel and boasts a castle he built, Fort Saint-André.
Les Baux de Provence with Its paved streets, renaissance houses will amaze you!
It offers spectacular views of the vines, the olive groves, the Camargue… as far as the sea !
Located in the heart of the National park of the Alpilles, Saint Rémy is one of the must of Provence.
Its verdant valleys and subtly perfumed, its beautiful houses restored with taste and its charming old streets have made its success . . . The ruins of the Roman city of Glanum, including a triumphal arch, can still be seen on the southern outskirts of the city.
