The program in detail

Join your friendly local A la Francaise guide at 8am in Marseille and set off for a true immersion into the culture of Provence. Your day tour will take you to three of Provence's most famous towns : Saint-Rémy, Les Baux de Provence and Arles!

Arriving at your first stop of the day in Saint-Remy you'll see the famous Roman monuments and discover the old town. You will also have the opportunity to visit the mental hospital where Vincent Van Gogh stayed for some time. On Wednesdays the local market is open with its colourful stalls and typical Provencal aromas... A great experience!

Travelling on through the Crau Plain, your tour leads you to the Grand Rhône River bank where the ancient UNESCO World Heritage city of Arles is located.

Following Van Gogh's footsteps, you will discover the roman remains such as the amphitheatre and the antique theatre, Saint-Trophime church (carved portal from 12th century), the Forum Square where the statue of the provencal poet Frédéric Mistral stands, and also the Hôtel-Dieu (former charity hospital) and Van Gogh’s Café.

On Saturdays you can also enjoy the Provencal market in Arles.

During your free time for lunch (not included), admire the village of Les Baux de Provence which has kept its medieval layout of narrow streets and the ruins of its castle. You will have the possibility to attend the show at Les Carrières de Lumières (ticket not included - can be closed in winter season).

After your visit of Les Baux de Provence it will be time to return to Marseille where you will arrive at 6.30pm.

Please note:
As the markets take place in the morning only, the order of the sites visited will be adapted accordingly: Saint Rémy in the morning on Wednesday and Arles in the morning on Saturdays.

Entrance fees for monuments and museums are not included in the price.

On certain days, a quick drive through Aix-en-Provence to pick up and drop off passengers may be included.
