Strolling the Sunlit South of France Loved by Artists
Creatrip Team
a month ago
September is prime time to visit the South of France (Provence and the Mediterranean coast), when milder weather, deep blue seas and golden sunlight create the landscapes that inspired many artists. The trip begins in Marseille, a 2,600-year-old port city, then moves inland to places associated with Vincent van Gogh—Arles, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and the Monastère Saint-Paul de Mausole—where famous works like “Starry Night over the Rhône” and “Café Terrace at Night” were painted. Hilltop and medieval villages such as Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence feel like open-air galleries, full of galleries and ateliers once frequented by Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Lotte Tour offers a premium package with direct charter flights to Marseille (operated with Korean Air), 2-night stays in InterContinental Marseille and a Nice hotel, panoramic-sea-view dining with local olives and seafood, and minimized hotel changes for relaxed travel. The charter runs weekly Wednesdays from Sept. 2–23; prices start at KRW 7,990,000 per person (tax included) with discounts up to KRW 500,000. For details contact Lotte Tour’s Europe team or their website.
