Provence:
A Light That Inspires

Dave Bowden

France | Provence

“(Provence) has a certain elegance in the presentation of itself,” says B&R guide and Provence specialist Thilo Erhardt. “You can finish early enough in the afternoon to enjoy a glass of pastis and look at how the last sun beams repaint the landscape that you saw in the morning.” Check out the video below for a glimpse of what Thilo’s talking about. Want to see for yourself? You can see our full roster of Provence itineraries here — is it just us, or does “Slow down to smell the lavender” have a certain ring to it?

Experience Provence With B&R

Scheduled Group Walking Trip

Wander (slowly) through the narrow vineyard paths, secluded olive groves and limestone ridges of our Provence Walking trip. The wines are not to be rushed, either (once you’ve sampled a Côtes du Rhône or Côtes du Lubéron in its natural habitat, you’ll understand why).
