An Artistique Adventure in
Provence
An active tour program of cultural
discovery in Frederic Mistral's "Empire of the Sun"! Provence is a
magical region of artists & artisans that comes alive during our
week of activities and excursions that include a step back in time
to Ancient Rome to explore the Roman ruins of Arles and participate
in a culinary class, "Cuisine of Roman Provence", at our chef's
private workshop and residence in ancient Arles. Modern Provence
offers a local experience shopping at village open markets, as does
wine, honey & cheese tasting with local artisans and growers
throughout the program. And, no Provence stay is complete without a
private visit with our pottery maker, a walk through the Luberon
medieval villages, savoring gourmet cuisine daily and discovering
the home towns of Cezanne and Van Gogh.
