The excursion usually starts around 9:30 a.m. and will last about 8 hours. Once more, each visit is unique and can be based upon a theme such as landscapes and Heritage, Legends and Castles, Tastings at and Discoveries of the vineyards and Provençal markets, Art, literature, Crafts, Folklore and the Provençal, Occitan and Roman Cultures. As we are not a company, but a registered not-for-profit cultural association having begun our activities in 2004, our local members who volunteer to accompany visitors are passionate about the history, culture and language of the region.
