• day 1

  Discovery of Les Baux-de-Provence, one of the most beautiful villages in France.

  

  Morning: 2H Hike - "Splendid panorama of Les Baux" to feast your eyes. Afternoon: Visit of Les Baux-de-Provence - the village, labeled as "one of the most beautiful in France," has been restored with great care. Perched at the top of a rocky plateau overlooking the countryside, it is an open-air museum: 22 monuments are listed, including the castle, a symbol of its medieval history. Here, no cars, the village is visited exclusively on foot, as an invitation to take your time. Visit of the famous Carrières des Lumières - in 2020, the Carrières are illuminated with the famous works of Salvador Dalí. "Dalí, the endless enigma" looks back on more than 60 years of creative work by the Catalan master, who explored and invented several artistic styles. You stroll through surreal and metaphysical landscapes. Paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, engravings, films, and archival images recall the unique personality of the painter with the famous mustache, but also his obsessions with the strange and the supernatural, as well as his fascination for his wife Gala, his true muse. A timeless journey that awakens the unconscious, where Dalí's work remains a mystery and an endless enigma. Evening: Country picnic facing the sunset - we have found the best spot for you to enjoy it. An unforgettable moment. Or gourmet dinner - we will reveal to you one of our most beautiful addresses.
