As part of your active vacation, we will organize a number of Discovery Tours and, if desired, a more serious half-day or one-day course.  Again, the choice of Discovery outings will be made in consultation with the group as part of the pre-trip planning.  The number of Discovery Tours will vary according to the group’s interests and itineraries.

Some ideas for Discoveries follow. If you have an idea for a Discovery suited to your group, we will be happy to try to arrange it.

 

   ● Visits to Local Wineries

   ● Mediterranean Plants and Local Gardens

   ● Mont Ventoux, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

   ● Olives and Olive Oil

   ● Provençal Markets

   ● Site Visits, such as

                      ◦ the Palais des Papes in Avignon,

                      ◦ the Roman ruins in Vaison-la-Romaine,

                      ◦ the Antique Theater in Orange

 

More in-depth courses might include:

 

   ● Frescoes and Trompe l’Oeil

   ● Drawing and Painting

   ● Local Buildings and Architecture

   ● Wine Tasting

   ● French Language

   ● Provençal Cuisine

“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”

Miriam Beard
