A delectable French Provencal experience awaits on this full-day Discovery Exclusive tour that introduces you to the charms and gastronomic heritage of the region. Begin with a 90-minute motorcoach ride to the village of Fontvieille, nestled in the heart of Alpilles. Meet your hosts and learn about the thousands of olive trees grown at this farm, producing some of the world's finest olive oil. Stroll the grounds, visit the mill adjacent to an 11th century chapel and join your host for a tasting of some fine delicacies. You'll drive to the village of Fontvieille for a typical Provençal lunch at a local restaurant.
