An À La Carte Experience

Fresh out of the oven, Journey Your Way is Art In Voyage’s À La Carte program, where guests can join us for a week-long stay in our stunning private villa, savor daily breakfasts and a welcome dinner, and enjoy a courtesy car—all while choosing whether to pack their itinerary or keep it light. Join your two hosts on their daily local explorations, stay at the villa with a good book, or hop in your car to explore the region with your special someone. Dinners are served at the villa each evening—simply let your Chef know if you’d like to eat in or venture out to experience your hosts’ recommended eateries.

Stop and Smell the Lavender

Just as they are portrayed in Van Gogh and Matisse paintings, Provence’s lavender and sunflower fields are stunningly vivid and bursting with fragrance. Naturally, the famed lavender fields are at their best from June—hence the timing of this journey. Settle into our luxurious villa for the week, unpack, and unwind. Take a leisurely swim in the pool overlooking a scenic valley, savor juicy olives by cool streams, and indulge in exquisite meals prepared by our world-class Chef as you watch the sunset.

Marykay Langford

“Art In Voyage provides the ultimate in travel experiences! Our week in Provence was exceptional: The villa was exquisite; Kevin, our chef, provided hors d’oevres, food and wine that were outstanding, the tour of Avignon educational and fun, wandering the streets of Aix was delightful, and lunches at Michelin-starred restaurants were unbelievable treats for taste buds and eyes. Mikael sees to every tiny detail to make his trips perfect, including providing the perfect blend of relaxation and fun adventure. This was my 2nd trip with AiV and I’m already planning a trip for next year with Mikael and Kevin! Thanks so much for making the week a 5-Star experience, Mikael, Kevin, and staff!”

“My husband & I traveled the world on our own during our young years. As we move forward in the very best years of Roberta & Bill, Art In Voyage will be a permanent joy in our life. We cannot share enough accolades about the incredible experience with Mikael & Kevin in Provence, France recently. Not one detail was overlooked! I do not make my statement lightly: their expertisé and sincere care working with our group of travelers brought out the very best qualities of humans: We learned, we were inquisitive, and more importantly, as a group, we became friends! This is what traveling the world is all about… this is what keeps our Blue Marble spinning… Art In Travel! Thank you, see you in Venice, September 2025!”

After meeting Mikael in 2019 during our AIV trip to Umbria, I knew I wanted to go to his homeland via the Taste of Provence journey. The trip was a perfect mix of wineries, Michelin restaurants, cooking with a chef on his farm, boating in a canyon lake, smelling the lavender, seeing the gorgeous countryside that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne, and resting in the prettiest villa I’ve ever seen. We were pampered 24/7 – Mikael anticipated every need and took care of us while Kevin cooked the best French dishes every night. What I especially appreciate about AIV journeys is I don’t have to think, plan or worry – all I do is have fun and relax and enjoy the people I’m with (including Mikael and Kevin). Thank you to the entire AIV team for exceeding my expectations again – it was truly a trip of a lifetime. You’re the best!
