Poppies, Poppies Everywhere...Spring in Provence!

It's just the beginning of the season, and already spring seems to have settled in Provence.  The countryside fields are sprinkled with beautiful poppies...Early morning chanting and singing of local birds and frogs fills the air...

"Thank you for a wonderful week!  I loved the variety of daily activities and having time to relax and enjoy a glass of wine after a long day.  The wine included at the meals was fabulous and a definite plus!  The small group was great. I loved the walks, cooking classes and having plenty of "free time" to explore on my own.  There was a an excellent balance between organized activities and free time."  Erica Elder, Sydney, Australia

Shopping at our artisan soap maker...

Only 2 authentic, artisan soap-makers remain in Provence.  All other soap vendors are selling mass produced, chemically filled imitation soaps that come from factories in north Africa... So as we always advise our travelers, if interested in buying "Authentic Provence Soaps," you'll have the opportunity to buy some during the tour.  Please remember though, you are NEVER obligated to buy any soaps.

Calanques Walk a long the Mediterranean Coast & Cassis Village!

Another beautiful day in Provence as we head to the Mediterranean coast.  For walkers, we'll hike the calanques of Cassis.  For non-walkers, travelers will have options to shop at the weekly market and participate in viewing the calanques by boat.

Our "Village to Village" Walk - Having a blast!

Experiencing the local culture of small villages in Provence is exceptional.  Everything from the architecture to the hospitality of the local residents offers something intriguing for everyone!

 

Provence Cheeses & Shopping at The Market

No experience in Provence is complete without a trip to the market and cheese tasting!!
