Provence Lavender Full Day Tour from Avignon

Avignon 8 hours 30 minutes

Your full-day, small-group tour starts with morning pickup from Avignon. As you head out of town, admire the rare beauty of the sun cresting over endless fields of lavender in full bloom. Your first stop is one of Provence’s postcard-worthy villages. Depending on the blooms, you’ll disembark in Sault or Roussillon for some free time to explore. Wander narrow cobblestone streets and shop for heavenly lavender soaps, sachets, oils and honey. Visit an open-air market selling a colorful bounty of local produce. Put together a delicious self-catered lunch at the market or pop into a rustic café for a bite (own expense). After lunch, hop back in the vehicle for a scenic westbound drive, passing the Provençal villages of St Jean and Lioux en route to Gordes, one of France’s most gorgeous towns. Witness the simple beauty of the architecture which – under strict regulation – is composed almost exclusively of white stone with terra-cotta roofs. Then head to the Sénanque Abbey – situated in the middle of an sea of lavender – to take some great photos. Your 8.5-hour tour ends with drop-off in Avignon.
