About this trip
Stay in a château in southern France… A 16th century French château with a lush provincial landscape will be your base your base as you stroll through cobbled streets lined with medieval monuments and pick out cheese from a local farmer's stand at the market in town. Picture-perfect medieval towns full of well-preserved traditions and the beautiful monuments steeped in history are just part of southern France's appeal.
Stay in a French château!: Experience the grandeur of a bygone era as the nobles did in a beautifully-kept château built in the 16th century.
Southern France like a local: Shop for groceries at the nearby farmer's market, play a game of pétanque accompanied by a glass of fine French wine and sip on a cup of coffee as you people watch at a sidewalk cafe... All part of the quintessential French experience!
Charming villages galore: Visit Les Baux-de-Provence, a stone kingdom perched on a hilltop where the tastes and scents of Provence are brought to life. And it was named one of the most beautiful villages in France!
