Exploring Provence: Lavender fields, vineyards and hilltop villages

Art and history are woven into the fabric of the region. A private, after-hours visit to Carrières de Lumières near Les Baux de Provence offers an immersive experience where light and art transform ancient quarry walls. Pair this with a guided Van Gogh-themed walk through Arles or Saint-Rémy to see the landscapes that inspired his masterpieces.

For those seeking a balance of activity and relaxation, sunrise e-biking through the vineyards followed by spa time and a poolside cabana is the perfect combination. And for a taste of the Riviera, a private yacht day from Cassis or Bandol offers coastal glamour with the tranquillity of swimming in hidden calanques followed by a seafood lunch ashore.
