  • Overview

    This is not a tour — it’s an invitation to live la belle vie as the French do.

    Over 11 unforgettable days, you’ll trace a path through the South of France that few travelers ever experience. From the wild beauty of Languedoc to the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the glittering coves of the Côte d’Azur, every moment has been hand-selected for its sense of place, authenticity, and quiet luxury.

    Your accommodations are the kind that linger in your memory — Relais & Châteaux properties where service is intuitive, the food is divine, and the setting feels like a private sanctuary. Days unfold with balance and ease: mornings of exploration, leisurely lunches, and golden afternoons spent sailing, tasting, or simply soaking in the Provençal light.

    Along the way, you’ll meet artisans, vintners, and chefs who open doors to their world — sharing the stories, flavors, and traditions that make this region endlessly enchanting.

    This journey was designed in true Zephyr style: immersive, refined, and effortlessly seamless. Every detail is considered, every experience genuine, and every guest treated as part of a small circle of travelers who value authenticity over ostentation.
