France | Journey Through Undiscovered Southern France
Tour Sponsor: Beb REYNOL
Southern France abounds in undiscovered hidden spots and we are offering this intimate journey to step into native tour leader Beb Reynol’s backyard. We will lead the way to secluded inlets of the Mediterranean coast and hilltop stone villages that dominate the rare landscape of the UNESCO-listed Cevennes National Park. We immerse into a cultural experience of the Provence region which is known to be sunny for most of the year, and thus favors our trip trough the rolling vineyards, olive groves, and cliff-hanging pine forests once captured by famous painters such as Van Gogh and Cezanne.
The region is rich in its own architectural character, and you’ll spend 10 days going back in time as you walk through authentic medieval hamlets hidden in hillsides of old chestnut forest, indulging in a gastronomical journey by sampling local cuisine from our host, or partaking in wine tasting and a cooking class at the Chateau La Nerthe.
