The following are pictures taken by David and Wendy during their Alpilles trip with us in 2011, and were kind enough to share them with us. For more information about the trip, click on the link below:
Walk through Van Gogh’s Provence

May 2011
Our second trip with Walkinn. The accommodation, breakfasts and dinners were as expected. The hotel at Les Baux, Le Mas d'Aigret, was quite special. Our room had french doors onto a terrace where we could relax under an olive tree, and the restaurant served exquisite food. The walk itself was not as varied as our Luberon walk last year. The highlight was the first day up on the ridge line (do the extension walk – it is tough in places but well worth it). St Remy is a beautiful town and we were fortunate to be there on market day. Les Antiques and Glanum just outside the town were a delightful discovery and along with St Paul de Mausole deserve a separate visit on your first afternoon rather than just a quick look passing next day on the walk. Les Baux is a bit touristy but interesting none the less. No packed lunches this time which we preferred – all the bakeries will make up (wonderful) sandwiches for you. There was a mistake in the road book coming into Les Baux but that has now been fixed. Great weather as you would expect at this time of the year. We would again unhesitatingly recommend Walkinn.
