Upon exiting customs in Marseilles, your Adventures by Disney representative will meet you and escort you to your transfer vehicle while the driver assists with your luggage. You'll then be transported to the Grand Hotel Mercure Roi René in Aix-en-Provence. Your guide will check you in and you'll be free for the rest of the day until the ABD poolside reception followed by dinner at Le Passage.

On your second day you'll take a walking tour of Aix-en-Provence and then take a motor coach to the scenic summit of Colline des Lauves, where Cézanne painted 11 oil and 17 watercolor paintings. Then you'll enjoy a picnic lunch at Château de Beaupré followed by a wine tasting for adults and a nougat tasting for kids. The rest of the afternoon will be spent doing some leisurely lawn bowling, the French version called pétanque. Dinner is on your own.

On day three you'll kayak Gard River to Pont du Gard aqueduct where you'll take a picnic lunch followed by a walk along Pont du Gard Channel and museum tour. Dinner will be at Bistro Romain followed by a Disney movie night for the kids.

Your fourth day begins with either a bicycle or walking excursion on la Route des Crêtes, that follows the crest of the Petit Luberon mountains. Afterwards, you'll take a motor coach to the medieval village and castle of Gordes where you'll take lunch on your own before a privately guided tour of the Ochre Cliffs of Roussillon. The day continues with a pastry making class at Lôtre Restaurant in Aix followed by dinner at the Lôtre Restaurant.

On day five you'll travel to Paris on the TGV bullet train. Lunch will be served enroute. Next you'll check in to the Hilton Arc de Triomphe, enjoy a guided tour of central Paris and then enjoy dinner on your own in Paris.

Day six begins with a private guided city tour via motor coach, a visit to the Louvre Museum, a trip on the Seine River Water Taxi and lunch at the Eiffel Tower. The afternoon is yours to do as you like before meeting with your fellow adventurers for a farewell dinner at Ladurée Champs Elysées.
