Activity breaks in Provence

Home to many amazing architectural accomplishments - including the very beautiful medieval gothic structure, Palais des Papes - you certainly won't get bored of your surroundings during your adventure break in Provence. Despite its popularity, you can still get away from the hustle and bustle and find your own hidden delights on one of our relaxed activity holidays in Provence - picture romantic tucked-away chateaux, bustling local markets and idyllic villages.

During your activity break in Provence you'll make memories to last a lifetime, even when doing some of the simpler things such as eating lunch under plane trees, shopping for vibrantly-coloured arts and crafts and savouring the stunning panorama from the hilltops.

In this region, nothing compares to the scent of the garrigue: a heady mixture of lavender, herbs and wild flowers that cover the hills. When you embark on one of our cycling or walking tours, you will be able to experience the aroma for yourself.

Discover pretty vineyards, olive groves and apple orchards as you cycle through country lanes and greenways on our Landscapes of the Luberon tour, or choose to jump on your bike and visit extensive Roman remains, UNESCO sites and wine festivals during our Vineyards of Vaucluse trip.

If you'd prefer to see Provence on foot then opt for one of our walking tours, where you can get the chance to stroll through streets up to sprawling chateau ruins, before witnessing fabulous views of Luberon Valley and discovering the hilltop village of Gordes.

Our self-guided adventure breaks in Provence allow you to be as flexible as you like during your trip and offer the perfect balance of cycling or walking and relaxation.

Let us help you book your relaxed activity holiday to Provence

Why not make your own discoveries on one of our carefully-crafted activity breaks to Provence? If you're about to plan your next trip and have any questions about one of our adventure breaks to Provence, one of our experienced team will be able to help.
