Beskrivning
Marvel at Van Gogh's landscapes around St Paul de Mausole's hospital near Saint Rémy, explore the charming hilltop town of Les Baux de Provence and discover the Roman heritage of Arles.
After a short drive from Avignon and your tour guide's commentary along the way, experience the peaceful surroundings of St Paul de Mausole's asylum, where the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh created masterpieces like "The Starry Night" and "The Irises". Don't miss the remains of the former Roman town of Glanum that are to be admired just nearby. Please be aware that the hospital is still in use today so you will only be able to see the exteriors and the last part of St Remy's Van Gogh Walk with boards representing some of the painter's most famous works. The visit of the replica of the painter's room is not included in this tour.
A beautiful drive through vineyards and olive groves will take you to Les Baux de Provence, a real gem in the heart of the Alpilles massif. Your tour guide will drop you at the entrance of this pedestrian village, from where you'll have the chance to enjoy breathtaking views. An eagle's nest perched on a rocky plateau overlooking the Crau and the Camargue, Les Baus is not only a medieval fortress: a lot of shopping opportunities are available there!
Meet your driver once again and head to the “capital” of the Camargue, the vibrant and colorful city of Arles. Upon arrival, your tour guide will provide maps and helpful information about the city’s attractions. Arles is home to numerous monuments listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Explore its rich history and culture, and follow in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh, who famously captured the city’s charm in his paintings.
Afterwards, head back to Avignon old town.
