🇫🇷 Get Ready: Your Provence Expedition Awaits! 🇫🇷

 The countdown is officially on! We are less than 4 months away from June 20th, and we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome you to The South of France. You’ve already made the best decision of your 2026 travel season by signing up, and now it’s time to start dreaming of the lavender-scented air and the golden light that truly makes this region world-famous.

At Adventures To Tuscany, we live by a simple mantra: "What makes us different, makes all the difference in the world."   This isn't just a vacation; it’s a high-octane, elegantly refined trip of a lifetime!  

"At the Villa, we don’t just host a tour; we invite you to master l’art de vivre à la française ~ the art of living the French way. It’s about the clink of crystal, the scent of lavender on the breeze, and the joy & adventure of a week long road rally through the spectacular Vaucluse."

Our Private Oasis: Chateâu du Soleil 

Home base for our week is nothing short of legendary. Imagine a 400-year-old estate boasting 20,000 square feet of rustic elegance. This isn't just a place to sleep ~ it’s a destination in itself...

  • Modern Comfort: Every bedroom features individual air conditioning and private ensuite bathrooms. The Villa is very spacious, with plenty of room to spread out for a little privacy... 

  • The Grounds: Wander through terraced lush gardens adorned with classic statues and the soothing sound of stone water fountains... grab a bottle of wine to enjoy at the Boule court...  or take a hike through the vineyards! 

  • The Leisure Hub: A massive heated swimming pool, a summer kitchen & pavilion for poolside beverages & snacking, and a massive  breathtaking Solarium with a two story party terrace designed for late-night frolicking...

Gastronomy & Celebration

Prepare your palate for the incredible flavors of The South of France ~ "Un véritable avant-goût de la France"

The "Provençal Classique Road Rally" Experience

Get ready to grab your two-way radios! Our unique "Expedition Style" touring means you’re behind the wheel of your own car, following us "Road Rally" style as we navigate the winding backroads of the Vaucluse. We even have large Road Rally Decals for the sides of your cars!

We’ll use a "hub and spoke" strategy to explore the very best of the region:

  • Charming Hill Towns: We'll navigate the ancient pedestrian streets of villages like Arles, Les Baux & Gordes and the ochre-clayed wonders of Roussillon.

  • The Big Climb: Gear up for a full-day Road Rally up to The Summit of the legendary Mont Ventoux in The Alps,. Whether you're a Tour de France cycling fan or just a lover of epic views, this Alpine ascent is a true bucket-list moment! We'll take you the whole way to The Summit where we'll have a bit of celebration... and wait till you experience our very special luncheon in the foothills ~ "Une escale gourmande au cœur de la France"!  These will be experiences you'll remember forever!


Making the Most of The South of France

We know many of you are turning this into an even grander European escape. Whether you are starting your journey with the iconic sights of Paris or winding down after our tour on the glamorous beaches of the Riviera, you are truly doing it right.

Expanding your trip to include the lights of the Eiffel Tower or the azure waters of the Mediterranean only adds to the magic of your time in The South of France. We can’t wait to hear all about your pre-tour croissants or see your post-tour photos from the coast!

This Is It!

The stage is set, the wine is chilling, and the radios are being charged... You are about to embark on the trip of a lifetime, and we are so very honored to be your guides through the heart of Provence...  We're gonna have a blast!

See you in June!

This is a bit long at 6 minutes, but it will give you a feel of what you'll experience on the day of our Provencal Classique Road Rally up Mont Ventoux, of  Tour de France fame! The French call it The Giant of Provence... And some call it Old Baldy
