Provençal Charm & Pottery Dreams

This tour promises more than picturesque views of the French countryside as you approach the village of Castellane —the gateway to the Verdon Gorge. The village is shaped like an amphitheater where you can roam its cobbled streets with hallmark Provencal ochre houses. Excite the history buff in you as you explore the Tour Pentagonale (5-sided tower) and Porte de l'Horloge (clock gateway). Next - Stop at the Moustiers-Sainte-Marie village famed for its pottery and earthenware. Fancy a memento of your visit? Take a pottery-making workshop and create your own piece to cherish! The village boasts of faïence – a type of tin-glazed earthenware with every shop showcasing this exquisite art form.
