Provence France Hiking Vacation

Each walk fills your day with views from the Alps to the Mediterranean through blue, yellow and green painted villages, through vineyards and lavender fields. You will picnic on fresh produce. Each night your luggage and a hot shower await you in country inns or guest houses, often with swimming pools. Accommodations are carefully selected for the conviviality of their hosts, comfort of their rooms, quality of their settings and wonderful food.

Provence is the spring from which all that makes the "art of living well" flows. The people are devoted to living well, and you will come to understand what this means by week's end. The region is filled with the fragrances of lavender, rosemary, and thyme. The colors of cadmium yellow, azure blue and crimson red that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne are seen not only in the fields of flowers, but in the colorful houses and dazzling sky. Don't be surprised if you are inspired to pull out a paint brush as the incredible light of Provence reveals the exceptional cohabitation of nature and man.

As you will witness walking along 2,000 year old Roman roads, civilized man has lived in Provence for centuries. Here you can literally see the wheel marks of an empire being built. The Romans built aqueducts, arches, bridges and fortress with strength and power that was then theirs. The people who stayed, formed the roots of a culture known the world over for its sophisticated tastes and comfortable lifestyle.

So walk in the footprints of Julius Caesar and the Roman legions, Cezanne, Monet and Van Gogh, while savoring the perfumed air, delightful wine and delicious food of this remarkable region.
