Just saying the name Paris brings a flood of images rushing to your mind: The Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, the Arc de Triomphe, the people, the fashion …. If you have had the fortune to visit Paris, the memories undoubtedly bring a smile to your face.

The Provence region of France has inspired artists from Van Gogh to Cezanne with its rich tapestry of colours and natural beauty. The area so steeped in natural beauty also has a fascinating history which we discover as we travel through the streets and palaces walked by Popes and Emperors in ages past.

The Bas-Languedoc region is filled with Roman architecture, and has been a hugely important area historically ever since Roman times. We visit the fairytale Carcassonne to see the turrets shaped like witches’ hats and enjoy the views as we travel through the land of bullfighting, rugby and incredible scenery.
