Well before Peter Mayle wrote his beloved memoir, A Year in Provence, artists have sought to capture the essence of this storied corner of France. On our exquisite itinerary, you are immersed in it. Savor the Provencal scenes that entranced Cezanne, Chagall and Van Gogh—petite villages, lemon groves and sunflowers, perfumed air, and magical light. Wander Roman ruins and an ochre hill town. Stroll markets brimming with produce, baguettes, olive oil and lavender, take a parfumerie class, and sample the famous red wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Discover it all from historic luxury villas surrounded by Provencal countryside.
