Home to some of the loveliest weather and the most stunning scenery in all of France, with its craggy coastline and multi-hued hills. Our groups stay in the region’s hinterland which is full of romantic associations with art and music. Just to the east of the region lies Provence, perhaps best known for Avignon, with its broken bridge and massive ramparts, and Arles, a glorious Gallo-Roman city in which van Gogh lived and worked. Sommières itself, where our groups are based, is a glorious historic town with lots of shops, cafes and a weekly market.
View mapConcerts are usually held in the evenings due to the heat and take place in wide variety of picturesque squares, courtyards and bandstands. Concerts can be held across the region in Avignon, Baux de Provence and St Remy de Provence, as well as in Sommières itself. A whole host of festivals are held during the summer months in the region, in which groups of a good standard are able to take part.
