Overview
About this package
Eight days through the sun-washed south of France — lavender fields in full bloom around Valensole, hilltop villages like Gordes and Roussillon, the perfume ateliers of Grasse, and finally the glittering Riviera at Nice, Cannes and Monaco. This is slow, sensory France: market mornings, rosé at golden hour, and the Mediterranean glinting below every terrace. Add a Roman aqueduct stop at Pont du Gard, an ochre-cliff sunset in Roussillon, and a Casino de Monte-Carlo evening, and eight days move from lavender fields to Riviera glamour.
