full day departure from aix en provence
SHARED TOUR - MAX 8 PEOPLE
Daily from 10 June 2025 until 20 July 2025
There is so much to see and do during your visit to Provence and whilst you are enjoying this stunningly beautiful and fascinating region of France, there is always one place calling you, one place you long to see but it is quite far away and difficult to get to via public transport - that place is the magical Lavender fields of Valensole, Provence.
Your meeting place is outside the main entrance of the Tourist Office in Aix en Provence:
Drive to Valensole, the heart of the lavender region. Valensole is situated in the middle of a magnificent plateau of lavender and almond trees and is true to its name: Valensole comes from the Latin "vallis" and "solis" meaning the valley of sun. Valensole has been able to conserve its character and charm typical of Haute Provence villages. It is a pleasure to stroll through the narrow streets of the old city. It is also a health resort well appreciated for its pure fresh air. The countryside all around (le plateau de Valensole) is perfectly beautiful especially in the spring when the almond trees are in bloom. In the summer aromas of lavender and thym waft through the air confirming the fact that Valensole is one of the most important producers of lavender in Provence. You will also visit Moustiers-Sainte-Marie - a Provençal village with a rich history and architectural heritage. Built between two rocky slopes, its offers spectacular and captivating views, as much from the heights as at the foot of the village. Situated in the department of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in the heart of the Verdon Regional Nature Park, the town boasts such glowing features as it history and natural surroundings.
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie enjoys an exceptional geographic position and culminates at 630 metres altitude. Its territory is vast; it is in the centre of the main sightseeing routes of the Verdon and, downstream from the Gorges of the Verdon, the Sainte-Croix lake lies to the south of the valley of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. Dams, torrents, cascades, rivers and lakes make up the major elements of this landscape. It has a warm temperate climate with ample precipitations. There will be free time for lunch (lunch not included in the price).
