Welcome
to Provence
Bordered on the west by the Rhone
River, which forms a natural frontier with neighboring Languedoc,
Provence stretches about 150 miles to the Italian border in the
east. This picturesque region offers a landscape of many distinct
characters and contrasts. There are lush river valleys and alluvial
plains, which follow along the sides of Rhone River. In a few
miles one can move from a rocky plateau covered with lavender
bushes and lulled by cicadas to the approaches of a larch forest
where marmots frolic. It comprises vast protected areas where
you feel you are the only person on Earth.
Embark on a journey to the South of France and discover the vivid
landscapes, the intense flavors and colors, and the art of good
living that make this region so spectacular. Art du Voyage offers
you the best memorable holidays in deluxe hotels where you will
be introduced to the most remarkable places by knowledgeable guides.

La Bastide de Marie - Ménerbes
Ideally located in the heart of the regional natural park of
Luberon, between Gordes and Bonnieux, La Bastide de Marie is
one of the most  splendid
proprieties in France. This 18th-century structure, surrounded
by 15 hectares of vineyards, overlooking lavender fields and
cherry orchards, is a standing invitation to discover  the
subtle fragrances of Provence. This beautiful pro- perty shows
a very elegant interior and embodies in its rooms and suites
the discreet harmony of Impressionist lighting with typical

Abbaye de Sainte Croix - Salon-de-Provence
Located at the foot of the Alpilles hills, set amidst
gardens of lavender and rosemary, this magnificent 12th
century abbey has been lovingly restored by Bossard family
from 1960 to 1970 to become now a superb 4-star hotel.
It stands above the medieval city of
Salon-de-Provence, in a very quiet and remote location
with a splendid view of the entire region. Aix-en- Provence,
Avignon, Les Baux, Arles, and Marseille are all within
a 30 to 45 minute drive. The monastery has kept its original
Roman style with vaulted ceilings and small windows; it
offers the same peace and quiet of the past, when monks
needed absolute tranquility for their prayers and meditation.
The bedrooms, tastefully fixed up in the monk's cells,
harmonize perfectly with the Romanesque architecture of
the building. The  hotel
restaurant has large bay windows with a panoramic view
and a charming terrace where you can savor Provencal cuisine
and excellent local vintages; and in the summer, the hotel
guests also have the possibility to have their lunch served
by the pool.
