Aix-en-Provence: hundred-year-old plane trees, elegant 17th and 18th-century private mansions (hôtels particuliers), fountain squares, fashion boutiques,… At the foot of the mountain Sainte Victoire, the historic capital of the Provence and the Counts of Provence, saw two friends growing up: Cézanne and Zola. Along its streets, Aix displays a captivating elegance of French baroque unique in its style.– Unforgettable!
Your Guide Boba accompanies you and shows you the hidden treasures of the ancient capital of Provence…
Avignon: a gothic beauty of the ancient Christian capital is to be discovered behind its proud ramparts constructed right on the bank of the river Rhône and inside of its Popes' Palace (Palais des Papes). Inseparable from its Theatre Festival that makes it frantic and brimful with energy, Avignon can also be peaceful during the rest of the year within its enclosure walls and cobbled streets.
Arles: born by the will of Caesar, immortalized by Van Gogh, loved by artists for its magical light, celebrated by aficionados for its tradition of bullfighting and photographers for its International Festival of Photography, Arles shows off charming streets with elegant private mansions (hôtels particuliers) and lovely Provençal houses with a cascade of orange-tailed roofs. - Stylish and relaxed!
Saint-Remy-de-Provence: Provençal-style Saint-Tropez whose mere mention provides a certain idea of an idealised Provence… down its alleys punctuated with squares and fountains, splendid private mansions and secret gardens (revealed only by a few porches left ajar), the Provençal way of life peacefully goes by.
Les Baux de Provence: under an infinitely blue sky, the breathtaking remains of the medieval castle dominates the rocky spur. Extraordinarily impressive! (One of the most visited villages in France!
