    What you'll see and do

    1. St. Paul de Mausole

      After a short drive from Avignon and your tour guide's commentary along the way, experience the peaceful surroundings of St Paul de Mausole's asylum, where the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh created masterpieces like "The Starry Night" or "Irises". Don't miss the remains of the former Roman town of Glanum that are to be admired just across the street. Please note that the hospital is still in use today. Visiting the replica of Van Gogh’s room is not included in this tour. There is either no time or very limited time available to see it, so the focus will be on the exteriors and the final part of the St Remy Van Gogh Walk, where boards represent some of the artist’s most famous works.

    2. Les Baux de Provence

      Embark on a scenic drive through rolling vineyards and fragrant olive groves to reach Les Baux de Provence, a sparkling jewel in the heart of the Alpilles massif. Your tour guide will drop you at the entrance of this enchanting pedestrian village, where every winding street and sun-drenched terrace offers breathtaking views. Perched like an eagle’s nest on a rocky plateau overlooking the vast Camargue, Les Baux is much more than a medieval fortress—it’s a place to wander, explore charming shops, discover local crafts, and soak up the timeless Provençal atmosphere.

    Nice trip into countryside.

    Very nice tour guide, safe driver. I was expecting a little more in depth information about Van Gogh, nothing I had not heard before. Trip of Remy and psychiatric hospital highlight of trip to see the room lwhere Van Gogh stayed and the view from his room. Quite a bit of info here about the painter. The olive fields where he painted. Trip,to Arles a little light on with Van Gogh info but not surprising as this was the town that had petition to remove him from town. However, did see the river from which he sat on bank and painted Starry Night, a big expanse of sky here.

    Perfect afternoon

    Nico did an amazing job getting us to Les Baux and Arles giving us plenty of tips and maximum time for both. Plus a superb stop at the hospital where Van Gogh stayed. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.

    Long day, but well worth it

    We enjoyed the entire experience. Being Van Gogh enthusiasts, we enjoyed St. Remy. Other sites visited, including Les Baux-de-Provence, the Roman Colosseum and ampitheatre in Arles, and the Roman Aquaduct were also stunning and well worth the time. Long day, but we would highly recommend. Our Tour guide, Nikolas, was knowledgeable, personable, and very informative.

    Wonderful trip with an interesting mix of Van Gogh and Roman sites.

    Interesting and fun day! Enjoyed the background and education during the rides, and the free time to explore the sites. Veronica provides lots of interesting details and pointed us to many sites. Variety of locations - scenic towns, larger cities, and of course the asylum and its surroundings.

    Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Avignon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Avignon is not rushed.

    Is Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 79 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour?

    +

    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 Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour?

    +

    Around 28 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 Avignon 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 Avignon and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Van Gogh's Provence & Les-Baux-de-Provence - Afternoon Tour 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 Avignon 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 Avignon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Avignon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Highlights of Provence in One Day, Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, Lavender Route - Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon. 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 Avignon?

    +

    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 Avignon?

    +

    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.
