Activities to do in Provence Verte but also the region's “must see” places and locations such as the Calanques (creeks) of Cassis or the islands of Porquerolles.

Easy booking in our tourist offices.

Choose from our variety of options and fully qualified service providers whether you are looking for horse and pony rides for your children or if you are a more experienced rider and fancy an enjoyable day ride through picturesque country landscapes.

Children can ride safely in a secured outdoor area and will also learn about basic horse care whilst you discover the surrounding flora on horseback. All our service providers are happy to welcome you for thematic rides and carriage rides

Enjoy an original rail trip and admire the scenic landscapes against a blue sky from a train window or from a Vélorail (rail-bike) route, both ideal family activities. For the tourist train you can choose from two daily departures either from Carnoules or Brignoles and for the Vélorail several daily departures from Pourcieux (prior booking required).

The Vélorail is a sort of giant bicycle that runs along a former railway track. On each side it has a saddle and pedals for two “drivers” and in the middle a seat for the passengers. The clicking of the wheels on the tracks sound just like a real train. This former railway track takes you through disused stations, vineyard landscapes and breathtaking views of the mythic Saint Baume mountain.

Enjoy a comfortable ride through the Issole valley and past the city of the counts of Provence on the tourist train and reminisce on times gone by.

Indulge in a fun and unusual visit of one of our villages. In Brignoles your children can invade the medieval streets dressed up as knights. In Barjols you can take part in a Bugade (laundry washing) in a real village lavoir with an authentic bar of Marseille soap just like the Bugadières (washerwomen) used to do in Provence.

Guided visits of cave dwellings, the crypt of the basilica of Mary Magdalene in Saint Maximin and visits of the town for children dressed up as cathedral builders of the Middle Ages can become a rich culturel moment of great fun with our lecturer-guides.

Enjoy two hours in the company of our qualified nature, naturalist or mountain guides. Our passionate professionals will be delighted to share the treasures and beauty of our best nature sites with you.

How about a gourmet vineyard tour and walk with Jennifer our certified sommelier guide, an introduction to fishing for children with Guillaume or a walking trail with Vincent with an insight to medicinal and healing plants .... a great programme tailored to suit all interests in an astounding, protected natural environment.

Discover the activities of a French winemaking cooperative and its role ? What about bottling your own personal vintage or scratching the earth to find truffles in the company of a professional truffle-hunter and his dog !

All these activities are at your fingertips thanks to our impassioned local producers. Wine, olive oil, truffles, honey ... the treasures of our terroir.
