    4. Chartreuse de Villeneuve lez Avignon

      La Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction owes its beginnings to Pope Innocent VI. After his election in 1352, the then cardinal donated his lands & private residence he owned at Villeneuve lez Avignon. Originally planned for twelve monks, the monastery was granted numerous privileges. The decoration of its private chapel was entrusted to Matteo Giovannetti, who had painted the frescoes in the Palace of the Popes. Pope Innocent VI had close ties with the monastery and, at his request, he was buried there when he died in 1362. His mausoleum, a monument which was removed after the Revolution, was returned to the church in 1959. The work begun by Innocent VI was carried on by his nephew, Pierre Selva de Montirac, Cardinal of Pampelona, who finished the St John Cloister in 1372. Its three cloisters made it the biggest Carthusian monastery in France. At the time of the French Revolution, it was divided into lots and sold, its library & works of art scattered, the monastery was severely damaged.

    Roaming the Roman ruins, Gothic inspiration and tasting fine wines - a perfect day for an architect!

    Christopher led us on an amazing day beginning with ancient Roman architecture and feat of engineering, the Pont du Gard. We also found La Chartreuse in Villeneuve lez Avignon to be exquisite in every way from the Gothic architecture to the frescoes and flowering trees - we felt as though we were on our own private photo shoot. Our day concluded with an intimate wine tasting experience at Chateau de la Gardine in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. We loved the wines and our host Julie. Traveling with my daughter the architect and her best friend made this a perfect day in Provence.

    Response from the operator: Joan, thank you so much for your very kind words. We're so pleased you all enjoyed the time we spent together and like most vacations, the time passes all to quickly. This particular tour blends nicely between the Romans and Pont to Gard and the Middle Ages in the region of Avignon and of course the connection with the Pope's and Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and we hope you'll come back and visit us again. Cordialement Christopher OohProvence

    Superb Provence experience

    Our tour guide, Chris, was knowledgable, accommodating, personable, and a great deal of fun. He gave great insights into the venues and was sensitive to our interests and pace. Helped with our photography and with many good suggestions and tips for the other days of our stay in Provence. Very comfortable transportation and always prepared on time. There is nothing we would change about the two days of touring we did with Chris and Ooh Provence.

    Response from the operator: Thank you both so much. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the half day visit to Avignon, plus the full day to include Pont du Gard and Villeneuve Les Avignon. It was a lot to fit in a full day, but from our side very enjoyable. I hope the rest of your stay goes well and look forward to welcoming you back to Provence next time you visit - we've only really scratched the surface of what's out there ;-) Christopher OohProvence

    Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marseille.

    How much does Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape cost?

    +

    Prices start at $565 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marseille usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marseille is not rushed.

    Is Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marseille, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marseille can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marseille and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Roman Rhône Provence, Pont du Gard to Chateauneuf du Pape start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marseille within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Marseille?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marseille experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Beyond Bouillabaisse: Diving into Marseille’s Multicultural Stew, Marseille Guided Tour for 4 Hours with a Bilingual Local Guide, Marseille Food Tour – Full Meal of Local Tastes by Do Eat Better. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Marseille?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Marseille?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
