Day 7: Van Gogh’s Footsteps in Provence

Art and beauty are one... shared with the world by Vincent van Gogh, whose work personified the region’s extraordinary light. Visit the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in St-Rémy-de-Provence, where van Gogh created over 150 works including Starry Night. Glimpse inside the artist’s mind as van Gogh scholar Mathilde Duvilliers shares insights on his complicated life, and reads from his letters, while you walk in his footsteps. Sample the fruits of the vineyards at a tasting at Chateau d’Estoublon. The setting is enchanting – Rhone wines are among the finest in France, and with olive oils, tapenades, olives and fresh-baked bread, you will also be enchanté! High atop a rocky outcrop lies the dramatic fortress of Les Baux-de-Provence; take a trip back to the 10th century... Celebrate the flavors of Provence with cocktails, canapés and a spectacular dinner of local specialties... a perfect finis to Provence travel days!
