Timeless Provence
About This Cruise
Striking natural beauty, immortalised by Van Gogh and Cezanne, home of the Papacy and capital of Roman Gaul.
This is provincial France at its finest. From sun-baked plains with fields of lavender interspaced with vineyards and olive groves to crowned in the distance by the hills of the Luberon and the azure blue sky - it's full of natural beauty and diversity.
The desolate wilderness of the Camargue is fascinating, with its white horses galloping across flat wetlands, herds of black bulls and striking flocks of pink flamingos, which appear to fly and land in perfect formation!
The towns are so distinctive - perhaps the most famous being Aix-en-Provence – its old quarter is home to traditional shops with quiet and hidden squares, complete with the soft murmur of ancient fountains giving an atmosphere of cool tranquillity. It has vibrant, colourful markets and crowded café terraces nestling under the shade of countless plane trees. The majestic Mont St. Victoire, immortalised by Cézanne, towers over all: Paris-like in stature and style, yet village-like in gentility, pace and ambience.
