Arles Arles 09/04/2025 Board the ship for your Colors of Provence cruise. (D),	09/04/2025	09/04/2025
Arles Arles 09/05/2025 Considered one of the most beautiful cities in France, Arles enchants all with its tantalizing history, formerly a Roman center of trade. Join a guided walking tour where you'll visit the Roman ruins of Arles such as its Roman Amphitheater and the Church of Saint Trophime, famous for its Romanesque architecture. Alternatively, you can enjoy a bike ride along the Rhône, through town to the Langlois Bridge, a famous subject from several Vincent van Gogh paintings. And for those who wish to delve further into Van Gogh's Arles, join a special walking tour along with a visit to the Vincent van Gogh Foundation, showcasing his legacy. During the afternoon, you'll visit the enchanting medieval fortress, the Castle of Tarascon — a fortress designed to protect but which surprises all with its elegant interior, fit for royalty. Or venture to the medieval hilltop village, Les Baux-de-Provence, to enjoy your choice of three different excursions. Experience the Carrières de Lumières, where you will be treated to a spectacular presentation of art, sound, and history projected on the walls of a former limestone quarry set to music. You can also visit an olive farm to learn about this age-old Provençal tradition and enjoy a tasting. The master olive miller will lead you on a walk through the grove and explain how olives are cultivated, harvested, and pressed to produce the Mediterranean's nectar, olive oil. Alternatively, explore Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the location where Van Gogh painted some of his most famous paintings, including Starry Night. (B,L,D),	09/05/2025	09/05/2025
