Eligibility

Our Quintessential Provence trip is open to adults over the age of 23 who is interested in a small group experience in France. Participants must be in sufficient good health to undertake the trip.

Participant Responsibility

If you are undecided about whether to take this trip, we will gladly discuss details with you. We expect that you read the pre-departure information and be in sufficient good health to undertake the trip. We take metros and busses in cities and hire coach buses for our outside excursions; we walk a great deal on our guided excursions, sometimes on bumpy cobblestone streets. While this contributes to the charm of the experience, it requires the participant to be in good physical condition. Bear in mind that hotel rooms are smaller in Europe than in the US. If you have certain dietary or other restrictions, please ascertain beforehand that we are able to accommodate you. Vegetarian diets can usually be adapted, but we regret that our chefs cannot accommodate a vegan diet.
