Travel Review: France Luxury Vacation, Nice, Aix en Provence, Arles, St. Remy, Gordes, Jaucus, Maubec, Avignon, Monaco, Art History

That is a difficult question because we did several different things and they were all very enjoyable.

This trip was a combination of art history (Chagall, Cezanne, and Van Gogh,) history of the region (Roman influence) with Glanum, Pont du Gard and Amphitheater in Arles, the culture of all the towns and villages we visited; Nice, Aix en Provence, Arles, St. Remy, Gordes, Jaucus, Maubec, Avignon and Monaco. The cooking class was an excellent experience as was the regional cuisine and wine.

In the end, you would have to say that everything we experienced was so enjoyable because of the people we met. Our guides, people at the restaurants, and French people in general; made us feel welcome and safe in their country.

A special mention to our guide Sarah who works in partnership with her husband Laurent. My sister had a terrible fall and hurt herself. Sarah was resourceful, acted with urgency and got her to a clinic, got her seen by a doctor, got her medications, etc. She went above and beyond what could be expected, and we are all very grateful to her.
