Great news! The Easter holidays are fast approaching! And Easter means the return of spring and a whole host of delicious treats! It’s also the perfect opportunity to take a breath of fresh air during a spring break in the heart of the Alpilles, in Provence.
As a family, with friends or as a couple, Plaisirs & Maisons de Provence has selected a few activities for your Easter holidays in the Alpilles.
The traditional egg hunt
Easter can’t be celebrated without a good dose of chocolate and the traditional egg hunt! In the garden or in the family home, it’s not without excitement that the children (or even the grown-ups) set off each year in search of the eggs that have been mislaid by the bells.
This year, we’re inviting you on an unusual hunt! On 15 and 16 April, La Barben Zoo is organising a huge egg hunt throughout the animal park. Among the lions and giraffes, a golden egg will be waiting to be found by the luckiest of the lucky ones, who will win a big chocolate prize!
Immersive experience in Les Baux de Provence
How would you like to discover the city of Venice in total immersion? That’s what the Quarry of Light in Les Baux de Provence has to offer. Projected onto the immense limestone surfaces, you can admire the digital exhibition ‘Venice, the Serenissima’ to music. Enjoy a 45-minute stroll around the city’s artistic and architectural treasures, as if you were actually there.
For the more sporty
Why not follow in Van Gogh’s footsteps on a hike? Admire the magnificent landscapes of the Alpilles from St-Rémy de Provence. On the programme: 7 hours of exceptional panoramas! You’re in for a real treat!
Historical tour
Not far from the Alpilles, you can’t visit Provence without stopping off at the City of the Popes in Avignon. Take a stroll along the cobbled streets of the city and discover the vestiges of a rich history, giving the city a unique atmosphere. Discover the famous ‘Pont d’Avignon’ for dancing and singing this Easter!
