Day 1: Switzerland - Marseille

Travel in the luxurious Car Rouge coach to one of the most beautiful 5* hotels in the south of France, your Hotel InterContinental Marseille.

Day 2: Marseille and the Calanques

What better way to start the day than with breakfast at the InterContinental Marseille? Before you lies France's oldest city, awakening in the sunlight, and the scent of coffee and the sea fills the air. In the morning, your tour guide will show you the finest sides of Marseille: the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, the Old Port and the historic Le Panier district with its boutiques and cafés. A boat trip then takes you to the Calanques National Park – a spectacular landscape of white cliffs, turquoise water and small coves. Afterwards, enjoy free time and dinner at leisure.

Day 3: Arles and the Camargue

Today you travel to Arles, the city of the Romans and of artists. On a short guided tour, you will see the amphitheatre, the Cathedral of Saint-Trophime and the very squares that Vincent van Gogh immortalised in his paintings. There is time for lunch on your own and a leisurely stroll through the old town. In the afternoon, you will discover the Camargue – a vast plain of salt marshes and rice fields. Flamingos, white horses and bulls are at home here. Visit to a traditional estate.

Day 4: Les Baux-de-Provence and Aix-en-Provence

Today shows Provence in all its beautiful diversity – from the quiet beauty of the Alpilles to the elegance of Aix-en-Provence. In the morning, you will visit one of the most remarkable villages in France: Les Baux-de-Provence, spectacularly perched on a rocky plateau and delighting visitors with its lanes and houses carved into the rock. At the Carrières des Lumières, you will experience a fascinating interplay of light, music and art. In the afternoon, you will discover elegant Aix-en-Provence, the city of fountains and artists. In the evening, return to Marseille and enjoy dinner together at the hotel.

Day 5: Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Switzerland

On the journey back to Switzerland, you will visit a renowned winery in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most famous wine village in Provence. You will learn more about the history of these fine wines and taste some of the best – a stylish finale to your journey to Provence.
