Today, you can stroll along its cobblestone streets and find cultural riches that span the centuries, including medieval ramparts, artists’ studios, and the world’s most serenaded bridge; the Pont d’Avignon, built in the late 1100s, is the place schoolchildren have been singing about for generations. Dinner tonight is on your own. You can choose to return with us to your hotel or you can dine in an Avignon café or restaurant; our shuttle will bring you back from the center of town to the hotel.

7. ART, OLIVE OIL & CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
The charming market town of St-Remy-de-Provence is inextricably entwined with the legacy of one of the most famous artists in all of France, whose paintings have immortalized places like Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, the asylum where Vincent van Gogh went to heal and hide out. Get a glimpse of what went on inside his tormented mind from van Gogh scholar Mathilde Duvilliers as she explains the meaning and symbolism behind his art and his letters on a show-and-tell tour of the asylum grounds. After lunch, get a different taste of Provence when you visit a
working farm and olive oil mill for a tasting of homemade products, including tapenades, olives and breads. Spend the afternoon indulging in the relaxing amenities of your resort. Tonight, we’ll be celebrating food, friendships and fun at a wine tasting and farewell dinner of Provençal specialties in the world-renowned wine region of Châteauneuf- du-Pape. Meals BD
