CA29 – The Provence of Tartarin

Self-guided walking tour in Provence - France. Walking holidays through Alpilles, small mountains with ragged crests stretching from Tarascon to Orgon. Hiking tour, walking vacation to discover the Provence.

The chalky chain of the Alpilles stands in the heart of Provence. From a distance, the whiteness of its arid and ragged caps contrasting against the azure blue sky gives the illusion of a large, looming mountain. On the left banks of the Rhone, to the north of Tarascon, the small mountain is little more than a block of steep hills covered with aromatic plants and arboreal valleys. Man has always appreciated these splendid sites, leaving behind many architectural testimonies which you will discover throughout this historically rich tour. With each step you will relive the Provence of Mistral and Daudet. You will keep with you always the wonderful memories of the charming villages, their shady public squares and refreshing fountains whose running waters seem to sing a song, the revitalizing walks filled with fragrances and color, passage through orchards, vineyards, fields of olive trees, and the oil mills and the satisfying Provençale life.
