Highlights

Experience wild scenery, off the beaten track, with dramatic geology, fascinating fossils, and inspiring landscape art.

This trip unfolds in two parts: the first highlights the remarkable installations of Andy Goldsworthy, an English sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist known for his site-specific sculptures and land art in both natural and urban settings.

The second part explores the stunning Verdon Gorge, a river canyon in southeastern France, carved by the Verdon River, featuring white-water rapids and towering cliffs.

Trails along the GR4 showcase breathtaking scenery and geology. Within Verdon Natural Regional Park, visit the village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, home to the 12th-century Notre Dame de Beauvoir Chapel and the Musée de la Faïence showcasing exquisite ceramics.

A highlight of this journey is the unique accommodations and delicious home-cooked Provençal cuisine, for this reason we have a maximum group size of 7.
