Great experience !

Took two day trips from Avignon with ProVans Tours - Orange and Yellow. Both were great - well designed, with good amount of time at each stop for such packed days, very informative and well thought though. A lot of information was given on a drive between the stops, which allowed us to use the time at the stops more efficiently. Thank you, Veronica !

Ménerbes

A Charming Village with Authentic Provençal Character

Explore the peaceful village of Ménerbes, with its beautiful stone houses, quiet streets and lovely views over the Luberon countryside. This picturesque village also inspired British writer Peter Mayle to write his famous book A Year in Provence.

Relaxed & Fun Orange day trip

ProVans was recommended to us by another local guide and it was a great decision to let Nicolas take care of things. Even though we saw a lot we never felt rushed and because it was a small group we were able to get a lot of local insight. We had several stops, with a longer stop for lunch in Luberon, and a pick up and drop off at our lodging. Thank you Nicholas, ProVans was the perfect answer to our wish to explore the area around Avignon.
