Provence Camargue (Aigues-Mortes)

Our tour includes visits to one of the Seven World Wonders, the Roman Pont du Gard. You’ll experience wonderful Saint-Rémy where Van Gogh stayed for a year, and Les Baux de Provence spectacularly set atop a rocky outcrop and crowned with a ruined castle. You’ll stay in Arles and explore its Gallo-Roman treasures, sampling the ambiance that attracted Van Gogh and Gauguin to its cobblestones and cafes.

You’ll visit the Camargue National Park where you’ll find wading flamingos, wild bulls, and white horses in the expansive marshland.
