Provence is Peter Mayle brought to life: Luberon hilltowns, Aix's plane-tree markets, lavender fields to Sault, and the Roman theatre at Orange. We stay in restored mas, driven by a private chauffeur through the vineyards.
Trip Highlights
- Restored Luberon mas with private chef
- Lavender-fields drive through the Valensole plateau
- Private tasting at a Châteauneuf-du-Pape winery
- Truffle-hunt lunch with a Provençal farmer
