Meet your guide at Marseille Vieux Port and head inland by minivan, passing through picturesque Provencal countryside in the direction of Avignon Œ_ just over an hour away. Known as the City of Popes, Avignon was once home to a succession of 14th- and 15th-century French popes who lavished the city with grand architectural gestures. At your leisure, see several monuments from the cityŒÍs heyday, like the Pont Saint-Bí©nezet Œ_ a striking medieval bridge Œ_ and the impressive PopesŒÍ Palace (Palais des Papes) which you can visit (own expense).
After a break for lunch (own expense), head to the old castle ruins near Chí¢teauneuf-du-Pape village, in the heart of the countryŒÍs RhíÇne Valley. The name ŒïChí¢teauneuf-du-PapeŒÍ also applies to the appellation (wine-making region) in which the village lies, and youŒÍll taste several of its famous wines at a local wine cellar here. See the vineyards and cellars while learning about the regionŒÍs viniculture from your guide.
Continue your tour by minivan, heading toward the Chaí¬ne des Alpilles mountain range. On the way, stop to admire the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pont du Gard Œ_ a well-preserved Roman aqueduct that once supplied the city of Nimes with water. The last stop of your day is Les Baux de Provence, a charming medieval village perched high on a rocky hill where youŒÍll have time to spend at leisure. Admire dramatic views over the lush Provencal countryside and amble around the cobblestone streets gazing at the city’s old fortress ruins (admission to the fortress is at your own expense).
After soaking up the delights of Les Baux de Provence, meet your guide for your journey back to Marseille. Your tour finishes back at Marseille Vieux Port in the early evening.
