AVIGNON, FRANCE
SAVOR THE FLAVORS OF AVIGNON
What makes Avignon special...
Avignon is where I go when I need to remember what actually matters...
Turns out it's usually lunch.
Savor Avignon is seven days in the culinary heart of Provence: the markets, the wine, the cooking lessons with a local chef who will make you feel like you've been cooking like this your whole life. We'll eat things worth talking about for years. We'll have conversations that go long past dessert. We'll do exactly as much sightseeing as feels good and not one minute more.

You’re going to love Avignon...
There is something genuinely magical about wandering a medieval walled city after sunset with nowhere to be and no car to get back to. The light changes. The noise changes. The city stops performing and let's you see the real Avignon. That's what you get when you stay inside the walls. This medieval city in the heart of the Rhône Valley has been welcoming people for centuries, and hopefully you soon!
