This year, the Go-Pod group will be ‘Podding in Provence’ for a 17-night adventure across 8 handpicked campsites.
Join Paul and fellow members on a spectacular journey that takes you from the rolling Beaujolais vineyards to the breathtaking lavender fields of Provence, and on to the glittering coastline of the French Riviera. Along the way, enjoy a warm welcome meal with your fellow Podders, plus four carefully planned excursions that showcase the very best of the region from medieval hilltop villages to world-renowned wine tastings. A special highlight will be a visit to the famous Fragonard Perfume House in Grasse, where you’ll discover the art of French perfumery and create your own unique fragrance to take home.
There will also be plenty of free days built into the itinerary, giving you the chance to explore at your own pace whether it’s wandering local markets, relaxing by the pool, or discovering hidden gems in the surrounding countryside.
This rally combines the camaraderie of group travel with the freedom to make your own adventures, all set against the backdrop of some of France’s most iconic landscapes.
Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable journey through the heart of Provence.
