Follow the trail to Arles, where van Gogh produced a number of works, and Saint Rémy de Provence where he spent time in the asylum at Saint Paul de Mausole. Continue your trip with a visit to "Carrières de Lumières", a multimedia show where art is projected onto the surrounding rock and then stop in the village of Les Baux de Provence. Choose from a morning or afternoon tour to learn about what inspired the artist Vincent van Gogh and where he lived during his time in Provence. Head to the town of Arles and see the yellow café, hospital and Roman ruins that were influential to him. Continue to Saint Rémy de Provence where Van Gogh lived and Nostradamus was born.

Next, visit Les Baux de Provence, where you will have the opportunity to go to the monumental Carrières de Lumières, host to extraordinary multimedia shows. See how the paintings of Italian Renaissance artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and Raphael are projected onto the surrounding rock in the disused quarry. At the end of your tour, drive back to Avignon.
