About this tour

- Cézanne's studio and the landscapes that shaped his vision
- Avignon's 14th-century Papal Palace and fortified ramparts

What to expect
Your guide collects you in the morning and drives through the Provençal landscape to Aix-en-Provence. Spend several hours exploring the city's geometric squares, Renaissance fountains, and ochre-coloured buildings. You'll get insider perspective on local history and can ask your guide to linger where you choose. After lunch (your responsibility), drive to Avignon. The afternoon takes you through the ramparts and past the Papal Palace—one of medieval Europe's most imposing structures. Your guide adjusts the pace and stops based on your energy and interests. Expect roughly equal time in each city, with transport between them.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestone streets. The day works for all fitness levels, though there's substantial walking in both cities. Prams are welcome. Lunch isn't included—your guide can suggest local spots. Public transport alternatives exist if you prefer to explore independently.
