Provence & the French Riviera
October 6, 2014: Departure
Depart today on your overnight flight to Toulouse, France.
October 7: Toulouse | Carcassonne
You are met at the Toulouse Airport by your local expert tour manager and
guide. Travel the short distance to Carcassonne, where your first impression will
be the imposing medieval stone walls and turrets; a fantastic reconstruction from
the ancient kingdom of Aragon. Medieval troubadours, small bands of traveling
musicians, originated in this area and frequented this city. Take a guided stroll
through the narrow cobblestone streets and visit Basilique Saint Nazaire where
you will have Mass before checking in at the hotel. Take time to relax and
freshen up before enjoying a welcome dinner in the hotel restaurant. (Mercure
Carcassonne Porte de la Cite Hotel) B/D
October 8: Carcassonne | Avignon | Aix-en-Provence
Check out of the hotel and travel into the region of Provence. Our first stop
today is at the Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct and bridge, the highest
and best preserved in France. Continue to Avignon, one of the most fascinating
cities in France with a history that dates back centuries. It became a central focus
of religious activity and was known as the “city of popes.” Visit the famous
Palace of the Popes, home to the Papacy during a 15th century schism in
Catholic theology. Have Mass and then time for lunch on the Place de l'Horloge
near the Hôtel de Ville (city hall) and the Opera d'Avignon. There are many
lovely cafes and restaurants in this vibrant area. Continue to Aix-en-Provence,
capital of the region, where you check in at your centrally located hotel and
enjoy dinner in a local brasserie. (Hotel Aquabella) B/D

The day begins with a short drive into the beautiful Provencal countryside to the
Abbey of Senanque. The abbey was founded in 1148 by 12 monks and flourished
through the 13th and 14th centuries. Enjoy Mass at the abbey where it may be
possible to hear the Gregorian chant echo through the barrel-vaulted church.
Later, visit the hilltown of Gordes, one of the most scenic hilltop villages in
France. Enjoy an included group lunch in one of Gordes restaurants that
overlooks the beautiful city walls. Lastly, check out the antiques and Provencal
market of L’Isle- sur-la Sorgue. The historic center is a maze of narrow alleyways
with interesting shops for exploring or buying unique regional items. Return to
Aix with the evening free. B/L
October 10: Arles | Aix-en-Provence
Travel to Arles on the banks of the Rhone River. See the famous Roman
amphitheater, built in 90 AD for gladiator fights and animal hunts. Nearby is the
necropolis and the thermal baths of Constantine. Exploring further, notice that
the narrow streets of Arles are truly medieval in character, winding between
ancient buildings and houses. Vincent Van Gogh captured many scenes on
canvas and we’ll visit his workshop. Have time for lunch and souvenir shopping
before returning to Aix with the evening free. B
October 11: Cassis | Aix en Provence
After breakfast depart for Cassis, an ancient fishing port on the Mediterranean.
A walk through the old village streets reveals some old pastel colored buildings
dating back to the 16th century. Enjoy the picturesque harbor with small fishing
boats and luxury yachts. Take a short journey by boat on the Mediterranean to
see the calanques--fjord-like inlets formed in the rocky cliffs along the coastline.
Have time for souvenir shopping and lunch in this picturesque fishing village.
Return to Aix-en-Provence with an opportunity to visit the workshop of the
October 6-15, 2014
famous painter, Paul Cézanne (1839 – 1906) who was born in Aix-en-Provence.
Enjoy afternoon Mass in the Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur d'Aix with the balance of
the evening free. B
October 12: Aix-en-Provence | Moustiers | Grasse | Nice
Leave Aix-en-Provence today for a scenic journey to Nice. Our first stop is in
Moustiers- Sainte-Marie, which sits below a narrow notch at the base of rocky
cliffs. Above the village, the Notre-Dame de Beauvoir chapel sits high in the
notch, behind the ruins of the ancient defensive walls, and hidden in the
shadows for most of the day. Enjoy Mass here before exploring the town. The
main attraction of Moustiers is the beautiful, "faience" ceramics found in many
fine shops. Continue with a scenic drive through the stunning Gorges du
Verdon, Europe’s largest canyon. Stop in Grasse with time for lunch and visit a
local perfumery. Our final destination today is Nice, a gem on the French
Riviera, with its palm tree lined Promenade des Anglais. Check in at the hotel
and enjoy a group dinner after a busy day. (Hotel Mercure Notre Dame) B/D

palm-lined Promenade des Anglais from the Colline du Château's (Castle Hill's)
grassy summit, the perfect spot to see the bay sweep round to the distant Cap
d'Antibes. Postcard-pretty Cimiez is home to the Musée Matisse and Musée
National Marc Chagall, while the suburb's Roman amphitheater provides an
idyllic backdrop to Nice's annual summertime Jazz Festival. Mass will be in the
Basilique-Cathédrale Sainte-Marie et Sainte-Réparate de Nice. Enjoy afternoon
souvenir shopping and find a trendy seaside restaurant for dinner. B

Take a day excursion from Nice to glitzy Monaco by train. Hemmed in by
France and the Mediterranean, sparkling Monaco staunchly maintains its
independence that has attracted international glitterati for more than a century.
