Overview

Discover top attractions including 12th-century Sénanque Abbey with its famous lavender fields (generally blooming at the end of June), and fall under the spell of the gentle landscapes of the Luberon valley, where green hills and steep cliffs are lined with vineyards, olive groves and lavender fields. Explore 2 charming villages, officially listed as some of the most beautiful of all France: Gordes and Roussillon. Enjoy great photo opportunities along some of the most secret lavender fields of Provence. During the harvest (July) you'll have the chance to visit a local farm, where the flowers are processed to make essential oils, dried flower bunches and lavender sachets. All of our day tours are limited to 8 participants and are operated by Veronica or Nicolas, the two company's founders and owners. They guarantee personal service, careful attention to detail and a friendly atmosphere aboard.

Itinerary

  • Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senanque

    After a 50-minute drive from Avignon, your tour guide will first take you to the world-known Sénanque Abbey, a wonderfully preserved 12th-century monastery nestled among lush forests and beautiful lavender fields. Widely considered among the region’s top attractions, don't miss the opportunity to admire this gem of Romanesque architecture during the blooming season of lavender (in full bloom starting from June 20-25). Please be aware that during this day trip time doesn't allow a visit of the interiors.

    30 minutes

  • Vieille de Gordes

    On the way to the old town of Gordes, a photo stop at Gordes' famous overlook is planned. Here you'll have the chance to admire one of the most incredible panoramas of the Luberon valley, where vineyards and olive groves stretch out as far as the eye can see, surrounded by gentle green mountains. Minutes later, your driver will drop you off by the town's castle from where you can easily explore the cobbled streets of this world-known hilltop town and admire stunning views of the Luberon landscapes. Plenty of shopping opportunities are available here, as well as small cafés and icecream shops. Meet your tour guide again at the meeting point and head to another wonderful village.

    1 hour

  • Roussillon

    At around 1 pm your tour guide will drop you in the village of Roussillon, where you'll have a longer time to spend than in the other towns. This allows everyone to have lunch in one of the cafés or snack bars and to explore the colourful streets of Roussillon, where every house is painted a different shade of ochre. If you opt for a quick lunch on the go, you'll also have enough time to walk the beautiful Ochre Trail (entrance fee not included - 4€/adult), a developed pathway through the ombre coloured cliffs of a former ochre mine.

    2 hours

  • N/A

    Following the blooming stage of lavender, during the day we will take you to the brightest and most scenic lavender fields of that moment. In June we will focuse on the wide lavender fields on the hillsides of the Luberon valley, whereas later in the season, normally after July 1, we will drive you to higher areas, like the high plateau of Sault. At least two long photo stops are scheduled, both in June and in July.

Highly recommend this tour

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour ticked our bucket list. Firstly we were at the beginning of lavender season and Nicolas made sure we got to 2 different areas in full bloom. The scent was amazing. Then Nicolas took us to some of the most beautiful towns in France - Gordes, Rousillon and Senanque Abbey - and another town whose name escapes me now! . We had ample time to explore each of these places. The views as we drove were spectacular, and the small group size allowed us to go to places quickly. Nicolas was very knowledgable, great company and full of suggestions for other places to visit.

This tour was absolutely spectacular. I cannot say enough good things. Nicolas took us to some of the most beautiful towns in France, all each unique in its own way. The views were truly beautiful, and the small group size allowed us to go to places quickly. This husband and wife team were truly knowledgeable about the best places to go to maximize our experience and for that, we’re really grateful. Definitely book it. You won’t regret it.

Highly recommend!

Excellent tour and we were able to visit many lavender fields in full bloom. We also had generous time to explore the villages of Gordes, Roussillon and Sault. Highly recommend the experience.
