Provence Trip of a Lifetime
From the time we stepped off the train in Avignon and were met by our two, smiling hosts right at the track, we knew this trip would be a treat. Our trip was planned as a family trip and one other lovely lady guest completed our group...very rare & fortunate for us. The weather was perfect, which was a thankful surprise as France has had a record-breaking heat wave since spring. The planned excursions were all unique and educational, and also just fun. Several lunch and dinner locations were provided by our guides, Philippe and Summer and were delicious, relaxing & in lovely settings. Each venue was hosted by locals who were experts at their craft and friends with our guides. We were taken to locations via a minivan, air conditioned and roomy, with fresh water always supplied, by our terrific driver, also named Philippe. The hotel in St. Remy had a courtyard with a lovely garden as well as a pool, yet still centrally located. It has a musical history and once was a private home. Staff were lovely and eager to please. Bring your comfy shoes and your appetites...and enjoy your time in Provence! Wish we had another day...or two. Thank you Off the Beaten Path for an unforgettable journey.
