When most people think of the south of France, they picture sun-drenched vineyards, lavender fields, and world-class wine—not dinosaurs. Yet beneath Provence’s postcard-perfect landscapes lies a hidden prehistoric world. More than 25 species of dinosaurs and other ancient lifeforms have already been discovered in the Provençal region, quietly rewriting the story beneath the soil.
Now, for the first time ever, you’re invited to uncover that story yourself. This one-of-a-kind paleontology expedition blends hands-on discovery with immersive travel through the breathtaking Provence–Alpes–Côte d’Azur region. You’ll spend four unforgettable days digging for dinosaur fossils near Cruzy, working alongside scientists where ancient giants once roamed. Beyond the dig, you’ll explore remarkable fossil collections tucked inside medieval villages, descend into working ochre mines, and savor the food, wine, and timeless beauty that make Provence legendary.
Cost of €3,995 for double-share includes transport from Avignon to Nice with a 4-day dinosaur dig in Cruzy, accommodations and most meals.
