About this tour
A guided exploration of four Provençal hill villages—Grasse, Gourdon, Tourettes and Saint-Paul-de-Vence—over eight hours. Your guide navigates you through medieval stone streets, reveals local heritage and regional character at each stop, and points out views and details most visitors miss. This isn't a rush through postcard spots; it's a curated journey through the lived villages of Provence, shared by someone who knows them intimately.

- Local stories and hidden corners beyond the obvious viewpoints

What to expect
You'll spend the day moving between four villages, each approached on foot through winding streets and up stone staircases. Your guide shares anecdotes and context as you walk, stopping at vantage points and local landmarks. Pace is unhurried; you're not ticking boxes but absorbing atmosphere. Expect cobbles, hills and uneven ground—comfortable shoes essential. The coach journey between villages gives you breathing room and time to absorb what you've seen. Late morning and afternoon light transform how these villages feel.
Good to know
