Horseback Ride Through Les Alpilles

Hosted by hospitable locals, enjoy a private guided tour of the property and learn about traditional olive oil production. Then, settle under the shade of the trees for a relaxed aperitif and lunch made from fresh, seasonal ingredients—authentic Provence at its most delicious.
Stroll through Eygalières & E-Bike to a Cathedral Winery
After lunch, your guide will take you to the storybook village of Eygalières, where cobbled lanes, stone houses, and vineyard views await.
