Your day starts when you meet your friendly A la Francaise guide in Avignon at 9am. Set off in your luxury minivan to explore the beauty of Provence in bloom!
The first stop of your day tour is to a traditional Provencal market. Immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of Provence walking through the typical stalls, full of local fresh produce which will tickle your taste-buds.
Next it's time to head to Sault, the capital of lavender (or Roussillon, according to the blooming evolution). Your local guide will drive you along a scenic road where you can gaze upon the beautiful lavender fields as you go.
Arriving in Sault enjoy some free-time to stroll through the pretty streets of the village and buy some unique souvenirs of Provence. There's lots of opportunities for great photos of the marvelous landscape surrounding you!
After this lovely stop, follow your guide and continue on to explore another of the must-see sites of Provence that make this such a beautiful region - one of the picturesque Provencal villages of the Luberon.
Gordes is perched high up in the Luberon area and is classified as one of "the most beautiful villages in France". One of the highlights of this visit is the spectacular viewpoint overlooking the village.
The last stop of your lavender tour is to the Senanque Abbey. This majestic cistercian monument is surrounded by lavender fields during the blooming season and makes for a truly memorable photo souvenir. This is one of the most famous photo spots of Provence's lavender fields!
You'll finish the tour an expert in our "blue gold"!
Your guide will drive you back to Avignon at the end of the tour arriving at 5.30pm.
