This private culinary and cultural tour for "Les Amis de Melodie" will be based in the charming hamlet, "Moulin de la Roque, situated between Avignon and Saint Remy in the heart of Provence and at the foot of the Alpilles ("baby Alps") mountain range. From there, we'll tour this magical, sun-drenched region, visiting nearby towns of Les Baux, Saint Remy, Arles, Avignon, Aix, Cassis, and Eygalieres. We'll view Greek and Roman ruins, tour the clinic, St. Paul de Mausole, where Van Gogh lived and painted 150 works, nibble our way through Saint Remy on a walking food tour with a local French guide, learn to cook like a true Provençal with a local French chef. Of course, we'll also have plenty of time to just relax at many an outdoor cafe while sipping local wine. And we'll dine at some of the region's best restaurants, as this is a culinary tour, after all!
This tour will be fairly active with daily walks of about three miles and optional yoga and/or biking when time allows.

Visit product page →We are thrilled to announce that we're launching new tours in the gastronomically rich region of Burgundy. We're planning these culinary and cultural tours with relatives who live there, know the region well, and are serious foodies!
Our first tour, a private tour for a group of friends, will take place in September 2021. If you have a group of 6-8 friends who would like to explore Burgundy with us in the spring or fall of 2022, let us know.
These tours will be quite active with lots of walking, some biking, and possibly a hike. Instead of staying a hotel, we will rent a villa close to Beaune, one of the most beautiful, historic, and legendary towns, in the heart of Burgundy.Guests would fly into Paris and take the fast train (TGV) to Dijon. We would pick you up in Dijon and then drive to Beaune, where we'd hunker down for the week.From Beaune, we will enjoy daily excursions - some off-the-beaten-track culinary touring and also some cultural sightseeing in Dijon, Vezelay, Pommard, and more - with local guides.
We will also:Dine at a Michelin-recognized restaurant as well as several outstanding local favorites.Attend 1-2 cooking and/or baking classes taught by local chefs, possibly at the houseExplore on bike at least 1-2 days or half days, depending on interestVenture onto local trails with a moderate hike of 2-3 hoursOptional yogaShop at local farmers marketsVisit 2-3 local wineries to learn about the region's celebrated winemaking productionEnjoy plenty of downtime to explore our town or just kick back at homeTour would include:
Accommodations for 7 nights
All breakfasts at the house (bread, croissants, eggs, fruit, coffee, etc. provided for serve-/cook-yourself-style breakfasts)
4 dinners
4 lunches
Wine at meals and provided at the house for downtime and l’AperoDaily excursions and tours with local guidesTransfer from Dijon train station.Transportation during the week
Tour would not include:
AirfareTrain (TGV) from Paris to Dijon - guests could take train directly to Dijon, and we would pick them up there, and then drive to Beaune, about a half-hour drive.3 dinners
3 lunches
Any activity or snacks/drinks enjoyed separately from the group
Cost: $3,400 double if paid via check or $3500 paid by credit card, $3,900 single - as long as singles are available. (The house has limited single rooms, so they would be booked on a first-come, first-served basis.)NOTE: If the group would prefer a hotel, we will book rooms at a hotel close to or in the center of Beaune. The overall trip cost will likely be higher to reflect the price difference.
