Van Gogh arrived here in the late 19th century, and this beautiful region inspired some of his greatest work: the chiseled teeth of the Alpilles mountains that soar high above the Rhône Valley, the sunflower fields, the piercing Provençal sun that highlights the façades of village homes, the Mistral winds that rhythmically sweep the lone cypress tree...

Chateauneuf du Pape is southern France’s most prestigious wine village: grapes have been grown here for 700 years. Based in your B&B in the heart of Chateauneuf du Pape you’ll have lots of wine-tasting opportunities, including a half-day’s guided tour by a local wine expert. Your last day of walking is in the hills above Gigondas – also renowned for its powerful reds – where the vines hover high above the Rhône Valley, and the views are breathtaking.
