This is Provence entirely on your terms: choose where you go, how long you stay, and when you head back. Hire a private, air-conditioned vehicle with your own driver for anywhere from 2 to 10 hours, with pickup available from your hotel, the Marseille cruise terminal or the airport, and build the day around what interests you most, whether that's the coastline, the countryside, a hilltop village or a wine tasting.

There's no set route and no group to keep pace with. Simply share your wishes with your driver, or let a few well-loved favorites — the postcard-perfect calanque village of Cassis, the fountains of Aix-en-Provence, the fortified hill village of Le Castellet above the Bandol vineyards, the lavender-covered Luberon, or the vineyards of the Côtes du Rhône — shape the day for you. Comfortable, private and flexible, this is the easiest way to see Provence at your own rhythm.
