Luberon Market & Villages Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence

8 to 9 hoursFree Cancellation

I’m inviting you to spend a really sensational day. Probably one of the most beautiful you'll have in Provence. I'll take you to one of my favorite spots in Gorges du Verdon where I go with my family and friends. The best way to explore this unic place is to have a boat ride in the canyon, the biggest in all Europe. You'll drive your little private electric boat having a picnic with some local wines. You can jump to the water or just unwind admiring the nature (2 hours easy drive, very calm water). Then we'll stop on few lavender fields off the beaten path. If you have a chance, you'll be the only one strolling there and taking pictures. Their beauty is really indescribable, even after the blooming period! The next stop is the perched UNESCO village Sainte-Croix with its incredible view of the Sainte Croix lake. Free time for strolling or beach time by the lake. *In case of bad weather, instead of the boat, I'll drive you to the charming Moustiers-Sainte-Marie village.

Because if you go to the lavender fields to take pictures, the golden light is between 8pm and 9:30pm. During the day the light is very strong and it can be very hot. We will leave Aix-en-Provence at 4pm so we can catch the nice sunset when we get to Valensole plateau. The trip to get there is around 45 minutes. You will be surrounded by fields of lavender, the famous Provençal scented plant, abound here. We will also stop in a lavender distillery along the way where you have the opportunity to buy products directly from the producers; and we will leave you some free time in the village of Valensole. The best time for lovers of typical Provençal landscapes to visit is middle of June to end of July, when Valensole plateau is awash with beautiful blue lavender in bloom. It's a sight – and scent – to behold!

Luberon Market & Villages Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence

Cherie_D, Nov 2025

Luberon medieval villages

The little medieval villages of the Luberon district are really worth a day tour. At this time of the year however (late November) they are a bit like ghost towns as most of the shops are closed particularly at Gourds as it is not tourist season and inhabitants tend to leave. But without a lot of tourists it is easier to admire the architecture and landscape. Our guide Remy was great. My only complaint is that we were in a car with 7 of us and as Australians we are used to fresh air and tend to get claustrophobic and uncomfortable in the closed areas with the same hot air circulating. I am an asthmatic and had to ask to move from the back to the front of the car as I was having trouble breathing. I was pleased to get out of the car at the end. We never understand in Europe and America why houses are so closed up and even in our accommodation travelling through Europe when it is 0 degrees outside we need at least a gap in the window to let some fresh air in and the stale air out otherwise we tend to get sick.

Aix-en-Provence Food Tour – A Full French Meal by Do Eat Better

Wonderful tour, Delicious food

This was a fun way to experience Aix. Inga was a fun guide, giving us bits of history and helping us experience the market. The food was delicious. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area. We had a great time! Don’t eat breakfast because you will have a lot of food on the tour!

Aix bike ride

We had a great outing with Vincent today. Great route and fantastic scenery. The equipment was in good repair and Vincent gave good instructions on how to properly operate the bikes. These are mountain bikes on trails, not a street ride so govern yourself accordingly. We had a great experience and would highly recommend.

Lovely Day!

We had a delightful day at the Gorge and Tom was an excellent guide. He is passionate and knowledgeable about all things Provence … food, wine, culture, nature and geographical assets. We enjoyed all that was planned for the day and even a few extra things as he learned our interests. We learned French language, stopped for a quick round of petanque, enjoyed wine from Tom’s village …. It was an excellent experience!

Provence Day Trip with Cassis Village Boat Ride and Local Wine Tasting from Aix

Louise_A, Sep 2025

Rain didn’t stop a great time!

Our guide, Ines, from Orpheus, was amazing. It was scheduled to pour most of the day - not great for 1) being on a small boat (12 capacity) or 2) seeing gorgeous scenery. She flipped our schedule so we got on the first boat of the day and we were able to see 3 calanques before the downpour began. Despite the rain we all had a great time. We grabbed an early lunch and were able to get to the cliff-top during a break in the weather and got some great shots. The vineyard we were supposed to visit got flooded so they cancelled. Ines reached out to other vineyards and was able to book us a tasting, but they cancelled at the last minute! Ines reached out to the museum of civilization in Marseille and got us tickets for the Cosquer underwater cave recreation, which was very interesting and something none of our tour group knew about beforehand. So, it wasn’t the day we were expecting, but Orpheus and Ines made sure we didn’t get short-changed and we all had a great time. In fact, one couple, there with some family, got engaged on the boat in the pouring rain! On some level, it’s about the attitude you bring with you to every day, isn’t it? Oh, and Ines’ lunch recommendation was spot on!

Josh_G, Sep 2025

Don’t Miss Out.

A trip to Provence for some is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you want something to tell your friends about besides the normal tourist sites, then you need to book with Eric. He was friendly, safe, and shows you Aix from a view that most don’t get to see. The tour, the tasting, the experience; all top notch. Highly recommended!

Wonderful exploration of the Luberon.

Sabastian, our guide was wonderful! Very informative and friendly. The towns are super cute, wish we had a little more time in each town. We made two separate reservations for the same day and time, and our group ended up being scheduled on different vans, but they easily switched things around so that we could all be together! Very thankful for their flexibility.

Sunset Lavender Tour from Aix-en-Provence

Katharine_K, Jul 2025

Wonderful experience!

This was a great experience and our tour guide was great! It was so wonderful to see the lavender fields and the sunflowers. And seeing them at sunset was fabulous. The stop at the farm was so nice. It was a pretty long tour and I think I would’ve preferred 4 hours in total instead of 6+ hours. It was a lovely experience and I will recommend to others.

Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence

Genevieve_Y, Jul 2025

A must-see tour of the lavendar fields

Emmanuelle our guide was very informative, gave us ample town to take photos in the beautiful lavender fields. The visit to the beautiful hilltop village of Moustier St. Marie was a great place to stop for lunch and enjoy a walk around on your own. Our next stop in St Croix lake would have been perfect if the tour details said to pack a swimsuit and beach towel, because it was hot that day and the season for it. A quick dip in the beautiful crystal blue lake would have been refreshing . I would highly recommend this tour (and pack that swimsuit !)

5-Hours Lavender Fields Tour in Valensole from Aix-en-Provence

Carmen_G, Jun 2025

A pleasant trip through lavender country.

We were taken to the lavender fields, distilleries and shops as well as to the town of Valensole in a comfortable van. The tour group consisted of 5 people plus the guide. Alessandro was very personable and knowledgeable and gave us ample time at each stop to enjoy the experience. The fields were very beautiful and Valensole was an interesting small town in the countryside. I would recommend this experience.
