Atlanta, September 25, 2008 – Travel writers Judi Janofsky and Rich Steck, publishers of the popular Where To Go Next! travel e-newsletter, will be hosting a series of weeklong tours in Provence starting in 2008.
Their new travel company, Provence Escapes, will offer tours that visit some of Provence’s most endearing sites and villages – Arles, where Van Gogh lived and painted; St. Remy and its Roman ruins; the famous antique market town of L’Isle sur la Sorgue; and Chateau la Canorgue, a family run winery featured in the movie "A Good Year" starring Russell Crowe.
"We’ve been traveling and writing about Provence for the last 15 years," says Janofsky. "We’re excited about showing people our favorite places and introducing them to some incredible regional foods and wines."
For seven days, Provence Escapes guests will follow the footsteps of artists, explore beautiful hilltop villages, browse through colorful markets and enjoy the tastes of Provençal foods and wines. Plus hike, bike and even play golf.
"Our tours are in late May," says Steck. "This is a perfect time to visit Provence, when the sun’s warm enough for sunbathing but gentle enough for sightseeing."
Each Provence Escapes tour is limited to 10 people and includes:
â?¢ Seven nights accommodations in a luxurious villa near the
famous perched village of Gordes
â?¢ Transfers from and to the Avignon TGV train station
â?¢ Local ground transportation
â?¢ Breakfast every day, lunch or dinner daily
â?¢ Local wines

â?¢ Wine tastings
â?¢ Cooking classes
â?¢ High-speed Internet access
â?¢ Personalized packets of information, including market buying
