Today's leisurely stroll through cobblestone streets will tickle our tastebuds as we uncover the hidden tasty treasures of the Marais on a custom food tour! Think pastry, chocolate, cheese and of course, wine! The remainder of the day is yours.

You'll have most of today to explore Paris on your own. This evening, we will be treated to a very special, private Champagne tasting, featuring Champagne made only by women, in a Parisian apartment! 

We will depart together from Paris for our journey to the South of France! Arriving in Avignon, we will explore the town with a guided walking tour, including the famous Palais des Papes and the Pont d’Avignon, tasting the delicacies of the South of France as we go. Tonight we sleep in this Medieval town, relaxing into the slower pace of the South.

Today we immerse ourselves in the wines of the Rhône Valley. First, we learn from a woman winemaker and tour her vineyards, and then we will lunch together in the charming town of Châteauneuf du Pape. This afternoon, we visit a women owned property for a tour of their underground caves before making our way to our hilltop village home of Uzès for the next 5 nights.

The markets in Uzès are legendary. This morning we meet Petra, an internationally known food and wine writer, food critic, artist, and professionally trained Chef. Petra will take us on a tour of the market, introducing us to the local food and its purveyors - and we will select the ingredients for today’s lunch! We will walk the short distance from the market to Petra’s hands-on cooking school, where we will prepare and then enjoy our lunch together. Petra’s recipes are easy, accessible, and fun for people of all skill levels in the kitchen. She’ll even pair our meal with local wines and send us home with the recipes so that we can recreate our lunch at home with our family and friends. 

We will get better acquainted with the Roman influence in the South of France today with a visit to the Pont du Gard for a private tour. We will enjoy lunch together with a view of this architectural wonder. This afternoon is yours to relax and do as you please.

Enjoy a guided tour in the town dubbed "the most Roman city outside of Italy", visiting the Maison Carrée, gardens and waterways that made the blue jean famous. You'll have time for lunch on your own in this fascinating town. Enjoy free time this evening.

This morning’s market has it all! In addition to some of the same faces you saw on Wednesday, today’s market has food, wine, olive oil, clothing, fabric, soaps, handbags, traditional crafts, jewelry- you name it! The market spills over from the Place aux Herbes into the surrounding streets. You have the entire day to do as you like. Shop, read by the hotel pool, write postcards from a pretty café terrace, get a massage, or take a nap! Tonight's Farewell Dinner will be a feast to remember!

Enjoy one last breakfast in Uzès before we drive everyone back to the Avignon TGV station to say goodbye. From here, the world is yours! Au Revoir!
