What people are saying about Languedoc-Roussillon

Flora was very nice but seemed more like a driver than a guide. I expected a lot more stories about Van Gogh and his life in Avignon than what she was able to share with us. I’m also not sure that the Carriere des Lumieres is worth it if it’s totally unrelated to Van Gogh or to Les Baux de Provence. Maybe replace it with a stop at an olive orchard or to see the sunflowers that appear in many of Van Gogh’s paintings. But the towns we visited were quite scenic and definitely worth the visit!

Our guide Nicolas explained everything very well. Vincent van Gogh in St. Rémi. Greetings
