Located on the northern edge of the Alpilles Mountains, this charmingly rustic estate boasts a glorious 58 hectare vineyard. The area is known for producing a range of sumptuously decadent vintages that you just simply have to try when you arrive at Chateau Romanin.
Jardin D’Alcinoos

This park features a range of gardens including a Mediterranean garden, a medieval garden and a rose garden that present you with a unique chance to explore the stunning flora of Provence. We’d advise you to head off the beaten track; Jardin D’Alcinoos is meant to be discovered, not toured.

This stunning example of grand 18th Century architecture houses a collection of paintings and graphic art from the 20th and 21st Centuries. We would suggest that if nothing else you tour the Van Gogh exhibit. This extensive showcase will provide you with once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of one of art’s most fascinating luminaries.
