Take your travel experience in France to the next level with the Provence Highlights tour, covering Chateauneuf du Pape & the village of Luberon. Hop into a comfy 8-seater minivan for a scenic drive through villages like Gordes and adventure spots.

Your first stop is the village of Gordes, perched atop a picturesque hill, where you'll be greeted by rustic stone architecture and several medieval buildings. Make sure to carve out time to visit the 11th-century castle, perched dramatically on the village's edge. From its ramparts, soak in panoramic views of the idyllic Luberon Valley, dotted with olive groves and vineyards. And when afternoon comes, wander through the nearby village of Roussillo, once a favored summer retreat for the Popes, who enjoyed the atmosphere and stunning views over the Rhône River valley from their nearby residence.
