Private Tours of Provence

Private tours, free refunds & rescheduling, customizable itineraries, private experiences in provence, built for you.

Provance can be defined as encapsulating tranquility and rich sensory experiences. Our private tours of the region are designed to deliver the best of this idyllic village region for you.

Known for its charming cobbled streets, papal palaces, medieval fortresses, and blissful lavender fields and vineyards, Provance came to many people’s attention with the publication of  Peter Mayle’s bestselling “A Year In Provance” where he distills the essence of the region through describing relocating his family into a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in a remote village. On your private tour of the region, we would be delighted to guide you around the remarkable hilltop villages, cheerful port towns, and lush lavender fields described in its pages.

Our tours of Provence are completely customizable , so simply complete our online inquiry form and your personal tour planner will be in touch to begin crafting a complimentary tour itinerary for you and your private guide that will deliver the best of the region to you.

What makes our tours of Provance so special?

Naturally touring Provance in a large group or bus tour shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers would be totally against the spirit of the place.

Our private tours are designed with tranquility, luxury, and comfort at their center so you can truly delight in the natural wonders, village life and gorgeous ancient architecture and monuments to be found here.

Our tours are totally customizable so if you have a particular passion or interest that you would like to indulge on your tour such as a wine tasting experience with local producers simply let us know and we can design it into your itinerary.

Depending on your preferences our tours can combine elements of the following:

• Sightseeing tours
• Walking tours
• Attractions & monuments tour
• Wine & Food tours
• Driver-guided tours

Avignon: Medieval City of the Popes

Visit Avignon’s ancient town center and discover its fascinating history firsthand on one of our private guided tours. The city is known as the medieval city of the Popes because between 1309 and 1377, seven successive popes lived in the historic center (with Clement VI eventually buying the town in 1348). The center includes sites such as the Palais des Popes, an impressive cathedral, and the Pont d’Avignon which led UNESCO to declare it a World Heritage Site back in 1995. This stunning town is one of our favorite places to bring clients to Provence and is well worth a visit if you’re touring the region. Include it in your itinerary by clicking ‘Create My Custom Tour’ below.

Visit the spectacular Carriers of Light in the heart of Alpilles. Built out of the remains of an old quarry the Carrieres de Lumieres host fantastic multimedia shows projected onto the surfaces of the rock and grounds. Featuring exhibitions such as Van Gogh and Salvador Dalí, all with incredible atmospheric music to accompany your journey through the shows, we really can’t recommend this experience enough. Include a trip to the Carrieres de Lumieres in your itinerary by clicking ‘Create My Custom Tour’ below.

Named after the province of Provence, Les Baux-de-Provence is regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in Europe and only has 22 residents. Perched atop a rocky outcrop and crowned with a ruined castle, there have been traces of human habitation found in Les Baux-de-Provence dated to 6000BC and is a fascinating town to tour. The town also produces excellent olive oil and a full-bodied red and rose wine for visitors to take home to remember their visit by. Include a visit to this incredible town in your tour itinerary by clicking ‘Create My Custom Tour’ below.

Include a visit to the beautiful hilltop town of Gordes and tour their incredible Renaissance castle (built 1525). This stunning town has a fascinating history dating back to the Celtic times and was later occupied by the Roman Empire (which you can see constant reminders of as you walk through the town). You can also see sites such as the Saint-Firmin Palace cellars, Sénanque Abbey, or perhaps enjoy a trip around the town’s traditional markets. Include a trip to Gordes in your itinerary by clicking ‘Create My Custom Tour’ below.

Taste the unique Provence wines by visiting one of its many famous wine regions. With its mild winters and long, warm summers, Provence is ideal for growing grapes (of which there are 13 distinct types available in the region, all unique to France) and is perhaps most famous for its rose. Visit world renowned regions such as Côte de Rhône, Côte de Provence, Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence and the seaside Provençal Mediterranean with expert sommeliers to guide you through your journey. Include a wine tour and tasting in Provence in your itinerary by clicking ‘Create My Custom Tour’ below.

Hit the roads less traveled...

Bonjour! My name is Claire Paris (yes, that's my real name) and I'm a provencal by adoption!

     I was born outside of Paris during the marvelous 80s', from a dad from Champagne and a mum from Burgundy. The perfect blend!

I spent my childhood in the parisian region and moved to Lorraine when I was a teenager. Most of my beloved friends and a part of my family are from there.

     I moved to Provence after two years of tourism study that made me a licensed guide and a 6 year experience acquired in leading companies of the tourism industry. I started my own business in 2013 to share my love for Provence and all the things that make it so special.

     I'm an outgoing and enthusiastic person. I enjoy being outside, I will never miss an opportunity to pat a cat or wear a sundress, I'm amazed by the little things, I devour books (especially biographies), and I'm a biiiiiiiiiiig foodie! Traveling is also a huge passion of mine, hence the career as a tour guide, I suppose!

I want to show you the many beauties of Provence I got to discover over the years, and hopefully you will fall madly in love with it, just like I did! Whether you want to learn about roman history, visit a castle, have a picnic in the lavender fields, take gorgeous pictures to make your friends jealous, I can cater everything to make your vacation the most enjoyable ever.

You will find below an interactive map of Provence as well as ideas of tours for inspiration (if you're scrolling on your phone, let's meet on a computer!).

Everything is completely customizable.  I exclusively do private tours. My air-conditioned van can accommodate up to 6 people. All you have to do is hop on and let the magic happen!  Feel free to email me so we can discuss the best itinerary possible for your unforgettable experience in Provence!

The best of Provence!

the best of Provence!

Buckle up and let me drive you for a compilation of the best of Provence! If your time in the area is limited, this is the tour you need. We'll go from hilltop villages to beautiful countryside, medieval history and roman sites. The perfect mix of everything Provence has to offer!

These are the starting prices , for up to 6 people, from Avignon and close surroundings.

Full Day Tour (8 hours)

Wanna go deep into History? Walking tours might just be what you need! 

Avignon h as no secrets for me! Are you ready to travel back in time and explore the capital of the catholic world in the 14th century?  Let's embark on a journey through History, where you will discover the reasons that led the Pope to leave Rome and choose Avignon over any other place in Europe, and learn about the medieval daily life inside and outside the popes palace. Did you know that pollution was way worse then than it is nowadays? Or that street names are not random?

Arles is the perfect combination of roman heritage, Van Gogh sites and provencal charm! Why was this city so important for the romans that they built monuments you could only find in the most important cities of the Empire? Why did Van Gogh leave Paris and everything behind to live in a city he only had heard of a couple times, and why did he paint so much there? 

Arles also has one of my favorite neighborhoods in all Provence. Fancy a walk there?

These tours don't require the use of a car. Pick up on request with extra charge.

First time in Provence? A little lost and confused about where, when, how? Here's a little help to prepare your visit!

• How to get there Provence is accessible by the highways A7 and A9 , as well as by TGV (Avignon, Aix en Provence, Marseille), and the airport of Marseille (international) and Avignon (for the lucky ones with a private jet!).
• When to come The nicest seasons are the spring and the beginning of fall. The weather is lovely, temperatures are ideal, and it's not overcrowded. May is the perfect balance between all these factors, in addition to the beauty of nature ! For the flowering times, see "Visits" !
• Where to stay Avignon is probably the best base : accessible by highway, TGV, and only an hour away from Marseille airport ! The town, in addition to its indeniable charm, offers a large choice of accommodations as well as excellent restaurants and bars. Arles is a good alternative, with similar assets, minus the TGV access. L'Isle sur la Sorgue and Saint Rémy de Provence will be a delight for the countryside lovers, and still offer a great choice of accommodations and restaurants.
• What to pack Comfortable shoes! You will walk a lot, and steep cobblestone streets are everywhere in Provence. Summers are hot (high 90F°), hats and sunglasses are highly recommended as well as sunscreen. Light fabrics such as flax are what locals wear. At night temperatures drop a bit but are still quite high, you will probably just need a light jacket. Insulated bottles have been my best friends for a few years now! I don't leave home without one. Make sure you slip one in your suitcase. The spring can be quite windy and chilly if our "beloved" Mistral wind decides to show up. It then feels much cooler than what the weather forecast says: bring an extra layer on your day out, just in case!
• Transportation on site The car is the best way to move once in Provence. It is quite rural, regional trains are not developped, and buses offer a service that lacks frequency. Roads are sometimes very narrow, especially in the Luberon or Alpilles. It's highly recommended to have a good driving experience ! As for towns like Avignon and Arles, driving can be a challenge : the streets are extremely narrow, most of the time one way, and most of them are closed to traffic anyway. Seat belts have to be worn by law. Otherwise the ticket is 135€. Ouch!
• Markets The provencal markets are well known all around the world. They're a must for anyone who wants to experience Provence, which explains why they can be very busy, especially in the heart of summer. Go early morning ! Getting there by 9 am is the guarantee you will enjoy your experience even more, even if it means you'll have to set your alarm clock !
• Souvenirs Here is a non exhaustive list of wonders to bring for your dear ones: lavender sachets and essential oil, Marseille soap, olive oil, nougat and calissons (a candy made of almond paste), table clothes and fabrics, lavender wands, wine, Camargue rice, salt, potteries, paintings, pigments, santons, ceramic cicadas... Craftmen all over Provence are proud and happy to make local and high quality products.
• Blooming seasons Lavender, the star of Provence, is a summer flower. It blooms from mid June to mid August. However, depending on the previous winter, it can be either early or late. The first 10 days of July are the certainty (or almost!) to see lavender at its best ! Sunflowers bloom shortly after lavender, but it's very rare to see two fields of these flowers side by side, in spite of what you can see on many pictures. Poppies, not quite as famous as lavender and sunflowers, aren't less of a spectacular show. May is when you want to come to see them.
• Where to swim For the sea lovers, Les Saintes Maries de la Mer in Camargue is where you want to go : the sandy beaches and shallow water are ideal for families with young children. For the hikers, go to the calanques, near Marseille : they offer the right combination between sport and chill. The place is beyong gorgeous ! As their access is limited in the summer make sure you get the right information before you go ! If you like rivers better, then Pont du Gard is made for you ! Here History and water meet for a both educational and leisure visit ! When will you ever swim at the feet of a 2000 year old aqueduct again ?
• Greetings In Provence people greet each other by kissing one another 3 times, starting from the right cheek. It's called « la bise ». A hand shake will do it too, especially if you don't know the person. But unfortunately we don't use the friendly hug. When you walk into a place, make sure you say « bonjour » before starting asking questions. The french are also very fond of « merci » and « s'il vous plaît ». It's a little annoying at first but you will quickly get used to it !
• L'apéritif As everywhere in France, we love to seat in the sun and share a drink with friends ! Pastis, a liquorice alcohol you mix with water, is the star of Provence apéritifs ! Rosé is also wildely popular : refreshing, light, easy to drink, it will suit most palets. For the younger ones, « Pac à l'eau » is a sweet lemon syrup mixed with water. Nice and refreshing ! Along with tapenades (olive spreads), olives and pickled garlic, here's the perfect provencal aperitif !
• At the restaurant Whether you booked a table or not, you can't seat yourself : the waiter will direct you to your table. He will then ask if you want an « apéritif » (see above). It isn't customary to have butter or olive oil on the table for you to eat with your bread. Ice is also not a habit, don't worry if the waiter doesn't bring a bucket along with your drinks. Tap water is drinkable almost everywhere, and has a very neutral taste. Tips are always included in France, but if you had a great time and you consider your waiter deserves one, feel free to give him a little something ! 5 to 10% is the usual, but you can give more if you feel like it. Your waiter won't bring the check straight away : ask him when you are ready to leave !
• Food and local specialties Aïoli is the Friday dish here in Provence : steamed cod and vegetables, served with garlic mayonnaise, yum ! Many restaurants will have it on menus on Fridays. Soupe au pistou also is a local's favorite! It's a soup made of different kinds of beans, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, to which we add loads of pistou, the provencal pesto. Seasonal fruits and vegetables grown close by are a big part of the provencal cuisine. Strawberries in September or figs in the spring are most definitely imported, and locals won't buy them. Garlic is an important part of our food heritage. Chefs will use just the right amount, but in private homes it reigns as the king of condiments !
• Books For you, bookworm, who need to get into the provencal mood before you visit! Marcel Pagnol was a prolific writter and most of his work is a beautiful picture of Provence at the beginning of the 20th century. Among his biggest successes is My Father's Glory, one of my favorite books. Warning: some of his stories are tragic! Alphonse Daudet wrote delighful provencal stories too! His most famous book is Letters from my Mill, a collection of tales and legends. Frédéric Mistral is the most famous writter in Provence. He's considered a local heroe after he saved the local dialect by writing in that language. He even won the Nobel prize of litterature in 1904! How not to mention Peter Mayle and his world famous A Year in Provence! A classic that made Provence the dreamy destination for many...
• Movies Most of Marcel Pagnol's books were turned into movies in the 80s'. They're a wonderful way to immerge yourself in the delightful atmosphere of the early 20th century Provence! For Van Gogh lovers, At Eternity's Gate is a accurate picture of what the painter's life was like in Saint Rémy de Provence, his home for a year. If you're in the mood for a rom com, go watch A Good Year, by Ridley Scott! A romantic love story that takes place in the Luberon. My Summer in Provence takes place in one of my favorite villages! Three siblings from Paris spend the summer at their grand parents in the Alpilles. Their grand father isn't as grumpy as he first seems...

A great guide Rémi will make you love Marseille and its surroundings. Crisp anecdotes, good humor and good vintages will be part of this wonderful visit.

Rémi is a warm and colorful boy… like his region, which he knows inside out! I start the ballad again, doubly authentic.

I recommend Gentle Provence with Rémi for a visit to Marseille and Provence, around wine and its history. Very nice memory. Well done and thank you again.

A WORD FROM Our Guests:

Exceeded our expectations.

“This trip to the Loire Valley exceeded our expectations! Christy planned unique and interesting excursions and activities that highlighted the beauty of the area and provided in-depth background knowledge about the various chateaux we visited. The cooking classes with renowned chefs, held in their restaurants and homes, were never-to-be forgotten experiences, and the visit to the winery was a highlight. The hotel was delightful and charming, and staying in one location for the entire time was a treat. Every meal or cocktail hour was planned to highlight the delicious specialties of the region. Christy is extremely knowledgeable about the various places we visited and imparted that knowledge in an interesting and entertaining manner. She and Remi took great care to ensure that we were always comfortable and well-looked after. We could not have asked for a better trip!” — Ron Rose & Sharon Matsumoto (Have done Provence tour and Loire Valley tour)

This was my third trip in the same number of years

“This was my third trip in the same number of years with Christy and Off the Beaten Path. While on her trips you can tell how much effort there is on the off season to make every single week perfect. From the pick up at the train station to the teary goodbye at the airport, everything is perfectly planned and executed. The hotel in St. Remy is magical, and the tour guides Philippe and David are exceptional. If you are considering a trip with OTBP, go for it and come home with new friends, a love of Provence and a longing to return as soon as you can!” — Beth Bower (Has done Provence tour twice and Loire Valley tour)

The Best Tour Company!

“I have done two tours – Provence and Loire Valley – and I am already looking forward to booking another. The tours are all perfectly curated and Christy is a wealth of knowledge. She is so kind and takes all of your needs and wants into consideration. I cannot recommend Off the Beaten Path enough!” — Madison Carl (Has done Provence and Loire Valley tours)

“We did the Provence tour. 8/2019. I had taken the tour 2017 & this time my husband came with me. It was just as fabulous this time as it was in 2017. Restaurants, picnic, sights, wine, all of it just delightful, but the frosting on the cake is a the knowledge, insight, humor, & attention to detail from David & Philippe. To us, they make a great trip soooo much fun. (also, 3 of our neighbors joined us this tour). Don’t hesitate, take this tour & enjoy!!!!!” — Jim & Carol Dean (Carol has done Provence tour twice)

Returning to Provence with France Off the Beaten Path

“I wanted to return to Provence as soon as it was open. I had toured with Christy in Loire Valley in 2019 and knew I wanted to travel with her again. For the second time, everything was well organized, personal and definitely off the beaten path. Christy and Phillippe have a wealth of knowledge and are eager to share. The hotel was perfectly located in St Remy, the tours to the lavender and sunflower fields are my favorite memory. The lunches and dinners were like visiting friends. The boat tour in Cassis was another highlight. Even though I had visited Provence, this trip with France Off the Beaten Path brought a new appreciation for the area.” — Susan Gage (Has done Loire Valley tour, Provence tour, Champagne tour)

“We had an excellent tour with Christie and her crew in the Loire valley. We did things that only a true insider would have access to-dinner at a Michelin chefs house, helping/learning to cook at a highly rated restaurant in their kitchen. This was in addition to seeing the sights and touring the castles. A truly unique experience that is off the beaten path. We will use her again when going back to France.” — Karen Berner (Has done Loire Valley tour)

Personal, charming guide to the beauty of Provence

With three nights in Avignon, we chose to tour the area with a company, rather than drive ourselves. Two different tours we did with Nicolas of ProVans. What a wonderful experience! Nicolas picked the four of us up at our AirBnB on two consecutive mornings. We visited three small villages: Fontaine de Vaucluse, Gordes and Roussilon - each amazingly picturesque. Along the way, Nicolas provided the historic and current commentary one expects. Big benefit: to have a tour guide who drops you off in these tiny towns so that you are not hassling with parking a car, which would be a nightmare! The 2nd tour was featuring Van Gogh's presence in Provence. Again, Nicolas made it a wonderful experience.

Mllpdx 29/04/2017 on TripAdvisor

ProVans emerged as a family enterprise , originating from the serendipitous encounter between Veronica and Nicolas a dozen years ago, fueled by their shared passion for Provence .

Veronica, hailing from the enchanting North of Italy, channels her extensive 15-year background as a tour guide and linguistic expertise to unveil the extraordinary essence of her cherished haven, Provence, to eager explorers.

Having spent countless years orchestrating day tours for guests aboard cruise barges along the magnificent Rhone River, Nicolas continues to relish traversing Provence's picturesque landscapes in his trusty van . With boundless enthusiasm, he imparts his profound knowledge to individuals from across the globe, fostering unforgettable experiences .
