Your day begins in the spectacular hilltop village of Les Baux-de-Provence, one of the most beautiful and visited villages in France. Perched dramatically on a rocky plateau, this fortified medieval village has captivated travellers for centuries. Wander its charming cobbled streets, discover beautifully preserved stone houses, and explore the impressive château ruins, once home to the powerful Lords of Les Baux, who ruled the region from the 9th to the 15th century. From the ramparts, enjoy breathtaking views across the Alpilles and the Provençal countryside.

Just moments away lies the remarkable Carrières des Lumières, one of Provence's most extraordinary cultural experiences. Set within a vast former limestone quarry, this immersive exhibition combines monumental projections, music, and cutting-edge technology to bring the masterpieces of the world's greatest artists to life. Spread across more than 7,000 square metres of towering stone walls, this unforgettable spectacle transforms art into a truly sensory experience.

Continue to the elegant market town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where you'll enjoy time to stroll its charming streets, browse independent boutiques, and soak up the relaxed atmosphere that has inspired artists and writers for generations.

Your Provençal experience continues with a tasting of exceptional extra virgin olive oils at Domaine Jolibois, where traditional craftsmanship and a passion for quality have produced some of the finest olive oils in the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence. Discover the distinctive aromas and flavours that are at the heart of Provençal cuisine and the region's celebrated art of living.

To conclude your day, visit the beautiful Domaine de la Vallongue, a 400-hectare estate nestled among the rolling hills of the Alpilles.
