Private Tour from Marseille: Les Baux, Van Gogh & Saint-Rémy

See Provence’s greatest hits in one seamless day—storybook villages, cliffside views, and Van Gogh’s landscapes—without group schedules. Begin with a private pickup in Marseille and head to Les Baux-de-Provence, a rock-top village of stone lanes and sweeping lookouts. Just below, step inside Carrières de Lumières, where quarry walls glow with immersive art and music for a one-of-a-kind experience. After lunch, continue to Saint-Paul de Mausole, the Romanesque monastery where Van Gogh painted among gardens and cloisters. Finally, stroll Saint-Rémy-de-Provence’s Old Town, full of lively lanes and squares, with an optional stop at Les Antiques, the Roman mausoleum and arch standing free in the fields. Fully private and customizable, the ride includes curbside drop-offs, return to Marseille, and an English-speaking driver who adapts pacing and stops to your wishes.

1. 1

   Les Baux de Provence

   1 hour

   Perched on a limestone spur above olive groves, Les Baux is pure Provence drama: pedestrian lanes, stone houses, and panoramic terraces over the Alpilles. Entry to the village is free; plan paid parking just below and a short walk uphill.

2. 2

   Carrieres des Lumieres

   2 hours

   Inside vast former quarries, floor-to-ceiling projections and music transform the walls into a living gallery one of Provence’s most popular cultural experiences. Timed tickets are recommended in season, combined passes with the Château are also offered.

3. 3

   St. Paul de Mausole

   2 hours

   A peaceful Romanesque cloister and gardens where Van Gogh lived and painted in 1889–1890. The site is ticketed and operates extended summer hours; allow time for the chapel, cloister walk, and small exhibits.

4. 4

   Saint-Remy-de-Provence

   2 hours

   Elegant squares, fountains, and café terraces set an easy Provençal rhythm. It’s ideal for a relaxed wander and a quick browse of artisan shops before we head back through the countryside.

5. 5

   Les Antiques

   2 hours

   Two free-to-view Roman monuments at the gateway to Glanum: the triumphal arch and the Mausoleum of the Julii. They sit roadside with parking nearby—perfect for a swift historical photo stop.
