More than just walking holidays in the Provence—it’s a culinary journey, a journey for the soul. One where we’ll discover quintessential Provençal landscapes, explore historical places, and get to know the authentic culture of this southeastern region of France. You can either join one of our co-ed departures, or, if you’d feel more comfortable among like-minded ladies, we also have all-women departures! Regardless, we’ll saunter through aromatic lavender fields, walk along the Mediterranean Sea, and stroll through charming villages perched atop hills. All our efforts will be rewarded with out-of-this-world food: just picture yourself in a typical French bistro, sipping on a glass of delicious rosé, and feeling fabulous. This is just a tiny portion of what’s expecting us—ready to discover the rest?
