Price From $1,380This will be the perfect holiday trip to discover the beauty of Provence, a land of incredible landscapes where the sun shines most of the year. Its natural light is so particular that it has inspired artists such as Van Gogh and Cezanne.
The first day will be in Apt, a French town located in the heart of Luberon Regional Nature Park.
There, in addition to discovering its beautiful landscapes, you will be able to visit the local market, but be sure to go on the days when it is open; you can ask in your accommodation.
As a curious fact, we tell you that this French town has been famous since the Middle Ages for its production of fruit jams. Currently, Apt's factories produce 15,000 tons of jam every year, so we recommend trying them before you start your trip.
After leaving Apt behind, you'll find beautiful forests and vineyards. This incredible landscape is the perfect setting to enjoy a picnic with the best regional products.
Afterwards, you can follow your way to the charming hilltop village of Bonnieux.
After breakfast, you'll be ready to start your walk through Petit Luberon, one of the mountains that make up the Luberon massif.
When you reach the top, you can stop to observe the views before heading towards Bonnieux, along a steep descent.
The road to the small and quiet village of Lacoste will be surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Once there, you can take a well-deserved break, accompanying it with a coffee and then visit the ruins of the famous castle of the Marquis de Sade, an 18th century French writer, considered very liberal in his time.
Then continue your route to your next accommodation in Goult.
Today is a day to discover Goult. You can start with the old town, visit its 7th century castle, the Romanesque-Gothic style church dating from the 12th and 13th centuries and get to know its windmill.
Later, you can follow your path through the magical olive groves until you reach the village of Saint-Pantaleon.
On today's tour you will see the colourful rock formations characteristic of this region.
Arriving in Roussillon, listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", you will be delighted with the beautiful flowers that adorn the central square and the typical cats in the windows.
On the last day of this walking holiday through the Provence region, you will have the option to choose which way to go. You can choose to go for the GR 97 or Le Sentier des Ocres.
If you take the first route you will reach Joucas, a charming hilltop village where you can eat while enjoying the scenery and then take a walk through its traditional cobblestoned streets.
The second route, slightly easier and shorter than the first, will allow you to discover the incredible ochre-coloured cliffs, characteristic of this region.
From Roussillon, we will take you to Apt to catch a train to your next destination, either to return to your home city, or head to another fascinating place in France.
