    local guide personally introduces you to “Aix” on

    an afternoon stroll along its storied boulevards,

    following in the footsteps of counts, kings

    and many a great painter. This evening, join

    us for cocktails, canapés, and dinner in your

    18th-century mansion hotel. Meals D

    JUNE 11 – C’EST CÉZANNE IN AIXLearn about the life of Paul Cézanne and the

    landscapes that inspired him, including a look in his

    studio, during a guided walk of Aix. 17th-century

    Cours Mirabeau, lined with plane-trees, graceful

    fountains and opulent mansions, invites a leisurely

    bike ride, a brisk walk, or a cognac in one of its

    many popular cafés. Parlez-vous Français? You

    interactive lesson in French this afternoon! Meals B

    JUNE 12 – A PROVENÇAL PICNICSample the charms of Gordes today, savoring

    a visual feast of chalk cliffs, fairy-tale villages,

    meadows and moorlands. Stroll the arcaded

    medieval lanes of Gordes and pick out the

    ingredients for a traditional picnic lunch – perhaps

    a baguette, fruits and meats, cheese, olives and,

    naturellement, wine…! Walk to beautiful Abbaye

    de Sénanque; your path is a treat for the senses.

    Depending on the time of year, you can see lavender

    in full bloom or golden wheat fields surrounding the

    900-year-old abbey, still home to Cistercian monks.

    Picnic in a Provençal meadow, and visit the source of

    the beautiful Sorgue River and one-time home of the

    Italian poet, Petrach. Then continue to your lovely

    inn in Joucas. Dine at your leisure tonight. Meals BL

    a chance to discover the height of daily life in

    romantic Bonnieux, before visiting the town of

    Menerbes, made world famous by author Peter

    Mayle in A Year in Provence. A tasting and tour of

    the Maison de la Truffle et du Vin du Luberon offer

    a memorable taste and “sensorial analysis” of these

    odd and very expensive fungi. An easy hike in the

    ochre-hued quarries of nearby Roussillon follows

    boules tonight back at your country inn. Meals BLD

    at leisure in medieval Uzes, enchanting with

    winding streets, a bishop’s tower and an ancient

    castle. The Romans left their mark in Provence,

    with the Pont du Gard standing as testimony

    to their amazing engineering skills and love of

    baths. This three-level Roman aqueduct was built

    circa 50 AD to bring bathwater to nearby Nimes;

    learn more about it as you walk the “pont” and

    go inside the museum. Arrive late afternoon at

    your Provençal farmhouse hotel, boasting pretty

    gardens and a Michelin-starred restaurant where

    dinner tonight is a real treat. Meals BD

    JUNE 15 – WINING & DINING IN AVIGNONAmong the secrets of the flavorful French cuisine

    day in Avignon! Accompany our chef on a buying

    trip to a local market. Learn the tricks of the trade

    as you help the chef prepare a traditional meal

    in a hands-on cooking lesson. After a professional

    sommelier guides you through a tasting and pairing

    of fine Rhône wines for your meal, it’s time to

    savor the experience at a midday lunch. Explore

    the sights on your own or take a guided tour of the

    Palais des Papes. Tonight is free. Meals BL

    Gogh at Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, and get a glimpse

    of what went on inside his tormented mind from

    a different taste of Provence when you visit an

    olive oil mill for a tasting of homemade products!

    Tonight, celebrate at wine tasting and a farewell

    dinner in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Meals BD

    Food and art are passions in Provence. Add in

    a local chef, a food expert, a wine expert... a

    trip to the local market – and what follows is the most amazing hands-on lesson

    in creating Provençal cuisine. Delectable wine

    tastings, gastronomic epicurean discoveries,

    savory entrées al fresco... a week in Provence is

    culinary sensory satiation. Later, in a captivating field of lavender, a luminous

    palette of warm colors sparks the imagination

    to create upon paper your own visual impression

    of soft landscapes changing hues in the waning

    sun... and the mysteries of Starry Night unfold with new understanding and assimilation

    gleaned from the magic of all that is Provence.

    palette of warm colors sparks the imagination
