Soak up the ancient charm of unspoilt towns and villages and experience first hand some of the region's finest wines and gastronomic delights. Cruise on an unforgettable journey through sun-drenched vineyards, passing ancient cities and peaceful villages nestling in the lavender-scented hills of Provence.
