    The fragrant garden of France

    Discover the color and radiance that inspired the masters Cézanne, Van Gogh, Monet and Matisse. Brilliant blues of sky and water, dazzling flower fields and groves showered in sunshine where the Muses are still heard by a thriving creative community. We walk through cherry orchards and gentle hills, explore dramatic limestone gorges, and follow packhorse trails past towering medieval châteaux. Taking a winding path through woods and vineyards, we reach the Marquis de Sade’s picturesque village of Lacoste. Then, heady scents of rosemary, cedar and thyme accompany us to old Ménerbes. We visit a wine grower and taste the Luberon wine.

    Itinerary

    Sunday Meet at Avignon TGV Rail Station

    Meet in Avignon and transfer to our lovely hotel in one of France’s most beautiful villages. We’ll have a pre-dinner aperitif followed by a typically Provencal Welcome Dinner.
    Lourmarin, Le Moulin

    Monday

    Walk in a landscape full of flowers, herbs and fragrances in springtime and a dazzling display of rich colours in autumn. We’ll hike to Cucuron for lunch, and continue through vineyards in the afternoon, ending the day at the 14th-century castle of Lourmarin. Try an aperitif of pastis, a well-known aniseed beverage and symbol of the South, before dining in our hotel.
    Lourmarin, Le Moulin

    Tuesday

    Today’s walk follows deep gorges bounded by dramatic cliffs, the kind inhabited only by birds of prey. An old packhorse trail brings us to lunch at a traditional auberge. This afternoon, on a walk punctuated by stunning Provençal panoramas, we’ll hike to the hilltop village of Bonnieux.
    Lourmarin, Le Moulin

    Wednesday

    Start the day exploring Bonnieux, then follow a winding path through woods and vineyards to the Marquis de Sade’s picturesque village of Lacoste. The heady scents of rosemary, cedar and wild thyme accompany us past craggy stone walls and almond trees to old Ménerbes, a former Calvinist stronghold in the Middle Ages. We finish our day by visiting a local wine grower to taste the Luberon wine.
    Gordes, Hotel les Bories

    Thursday

    Walk to the beautiful multi-hued village of Roussillon for a guided visit to an ocres (ochre) museum and time to browse the market and village shops before lunch. We continue across the valley to the stunningly situated, tiered village of Gordes, perched on the rocky face of the Vaucluse plateau.
    Gordes, Hotel les Bories

    Friday

    We visit the source of the River Sorgue at Fontaine de Vaucluse and follow an ancient silk route to Cabrières d’Avignon for lunch. We return along rocky hillsides to Gordes where, in this village of centuries-old dwellings and vaulted passageways, we enjoy our Farewell Dinner.
    Gordes, Hotel les Bories
