Process
Step 1
Let's connect
Have a trip in mind or just starting to dream? Share your travel preferences with us and we will reach out to kick off the planning.
Step 2
Detailed Brief
We'll set up a conversation to get to know you and your group. From there, you'll receive a journey proposal—destinations, activities and accommodation options shaped around what matters most to you. An initial Trip Development Fee is collected before moving to the next stage.
Step 3
Tailored Itinerary and Confirmation
Your Experience Designer will share a detailed trip plan, then work closely with you to refine it until every detail is right. When you're ready, a per-person deposit confirms your trip, with full payment due 95 days* before departure.
Step 4
Support, Start to Finish
Before you leave, you'll receive a full breakdown of your journey. On the road, you'll have dedicated support throughout. When you return, the same Traveller Experience team will be ready to hear how it went—and to start thinking about what comes next.
* Final payment terms may vary based on destination and type of trip.
Good to know
Airport
There are currently no direct flights to Provence from the US. Marseille Provence Airport is the closest—or Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, followed by a 2h40m train ride.
Dining
In many restaurants, groups of 8 or more require a fixed menu.
Lavender Season
Lavender blooms in Provence from June through August, however the best time to see it is between late June and early July. It’s important to note that these are particularly hot months and a popular time for tourism in Provence.
Weather
During the summer months, the Mistral wind can blow—closing some walking trails and force alternative walks.
