Dream Provence Tours: Let’s hear what previous guests say

If there is such a thing as carefree and elegant travel, my trip to Provence with [this travel company] proves there is. From the choice of lodging at a small and beautiful inn, to the day trips with local guides, to the terrific cooking classes ( I learned the correct way to cut an onion and pit cherries!), [the owner] arranged everything with taste, precision and joie de vivre. The trip taught me the art of living well, and the company of the other delightful travelers added even more happiness to the trip.

After three tours… I can honestly say that you will experience culinary tourism at its very best. [The owner]’s trips are well-paced, and are a thoughtful balance between market-shopping, cooking and dining, seeing amazing local sites and enjoying free time lounging beside beautiful pools, or doing whatever else you might like to do. You’ll have an extra bonus if you want to practice your French or your Italian. [The owner] is fluent in both!

2. Two Taste of Provence Tours
– May 30 to June 6, 2023, and June 9- June 16, 2023

In 2023 there are another two escorted very small group tours to Provence, France. If the timing of the December holiday tour doesn’t suit you, then this Springtime 2023 tour may allow more time for planning.

  • Small group(6 clients max) tours to Provence, France, that trips focus on the food, wine, and culture of Provence. Limited places remain.
  • The trip includes cooking classes with local chefs in their homes, winery tours, visits to a variety of cultural sites and markets, gourmet walking tours, and more. 
  • Stay in a small, 4-star boutique hotel and dine at intimate restaurants inaccessible to larger groups. (Stay in only ONE hotel per trip, avoiding the unpack/pack/unpack syndrome and allowing you to get a feel for Provence and the rhythms of everyday life). 
  • I pick the late Spring time frame because the weather is beautiful and not too hot and we can avoid the summer crowds ensuring a more relaxed and authentic experience.
  • The price of the trip is all-inclusive once you arrive at the pick-up point (Avignon) – it includes hotel, all meals (with wine), transportation, cooking class fees, all other tour/entrance fees, tips, and taxes…and it really is 8 full days!
  • There are NO hidden fees.
  • Guests have private rooms with en suite bathrooms
  • There are NO single supplements.
  • The all-inclusive price is USD6300 per person.
  • The trip is perfect for singles, couples, and friends – because of the small group size, clients may come as strangers but always leave as friends.
  • In addition as MyFrenchLife members you’ll receive two special gifts:
    – a wonderful spa treatment to experience whilst in Provence, and
    – a beautiful photo book of your trip to take home with you to keep those cherished memories alive.
