Over the centuries, Provence was the chosen home of many. First, the Romans, then the Popes followed by many artists and, now, living here is quite fashionable. Today, thanks to the TGV, world’s fastest train, you can easily discover this delightful region, the brightness of its light, the vividness of its colors and the charms of its traditions.

After covering 700 km (440 miles) through Burgundy and Rhône Valley, arrive Avignon at 12.15pm to first visit the Popes’Palace (entrance and audioguide included).
