A Week in Provence – A Lifetime of Memories!

|
The 2011 Court near Le Baux
|
Have you ever longed to be queen for a day; better yet, for a week? Have you dreamed of being king of the castle with a fairytale land as your realm? It can all come true when you join Hélène on her 2012 Tour of Provence.
Le Château de Goult, a lavishly restored 14th Century castle in the hilltop town of Goult in the Lubéron (Peter Mayle country) will be your base (no packing and unpacking once you settle into your completely modernized mediaeval chambers). From there you and the other members of your small court will enjoy day trips in a private, chauffeur-driven Mercedes mini-bus to the wondrous parts of your glorious kingdom. You’ll visit your subjects in places like the Mediterranean port of Cassis, the perched town of Les-Beaux-de-Provence and the storied village of Gigondas.

Enjoy the colourful Provençal markets
|
At the end of each day, after inspecting colourful Provençal markets, Roman/Greco antiquities, olive oil mills and bustling villages, you’ll relax with a crisp local Rosé by the château’s pool. The highlights for many are the sumptuous dinners prepared by our local culinary wizard; each complemented by a selection of the finest wines from Arthur’s Cellar (no relation to him of the Round Table). Conversations flow, the days’ activities are recounted, lasting friendships are formed and the good fellowship lasts well into the night.
Here are a few comments (blush!) from last year’s court:

Visit the majestic Calanques of Cassis

‘We had one of our favorite vacations with you all in Provence and our beautiful Chateau Goult. We have never been so spoiled in our lives, thanks to Hélène and team!’ Bev (Portland, Oregon)
‘Many thanks to you and Jim for organizing such a fantastic holiday for us. A lot of arranging and hard work and attention to detail, but it all came together in a wonderful experience.’ Gord (Milton, Ontario)
‘An incredibly memorable holiday that is at the top of our favourites list. We will definitely give serious thought to another adventure with you in the future and will recommend it to others. We felt it was great value as well.’ Barb (New Hamburg, Ontario)
You can find out all about this adventure fit for royalty on Hélène’s O!France website. We hope you can join our court from September 15 to 22, 2012. But don’t tarry ... several revellers have already signed on. Please contact Hélène for more information or special requests.
We hope we can share our wonderful Provence with you.
Cheers!
Jim and Hélène
