Country Walks in Provence

Hiking through sun-drenched Provence - one of the best ways to take in French charm and the casual way of life that has attracted painters, poets and writers from all over the world.

From Vincent van Gogh, Ford Maddox Ford and Hemingway, writers and travellers have marvelled at the azure skies and richly coloured lavender fields, which have captured the imagination of so many artists over the centuries.

Our trips are set around the Mont Ventoux area, the heart of the Côte du Rhone vineyards, where we combine half-day walks and daily visits to the local markets of historical towns such as Vaison-la-Romaine, an ancient Roman garrison town.
The walking is moderate with incredible views from the fortified towns, jagged limestone peaks and ancient fortified villages. Stroll through vineyards, meet the locals and enjoy the easy life of southern France.

But more than a walking trip, we will of course discover the culinary delights of Provence. From the aromatic olive pastes called taponade, to the sweet lavender honey, Provence will certainly awaken your tastebuds.

Most nights will be spent in the luxury of beautifully restored authentic provençal Mas, each uniquely decorated and owned by lovers of Provence. Their menus will use fresh, local produce and regional wines, meats and fowl from the hills around Avignon.

Our hikes have also been carefully crafted to maximize views and to allow a logical progression from one village to another, in order to keep the driving time to a minimum.
