Rolling hills blanketed with vineyards date to ancient Rome … olive and almond groves reach into forever. Indeed, inspiration is never in short supply in this magical corner of France. We experience it for ourselves during delightful bike rides through an invigorating landscape. And we’ll witness even more Provençal passion when we meet a renowned pastry chef for dinner in her home, savor picnics amidst splendid settings, and explore St. Rémy and Avignon with local historians.
