Itinerary
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.

Our tour guide Emilie was amazing! She was so much fun and very knowledgable. Additionally, Emilie was so accommodating and thoughtful to my elderly mother who was struggling to walk due to a recent injury. The lavender fields were incredibly beautiful and the view points were breathtaking. The tour of the Provence region was incredible and our love and understanding of the region was forever changed! Thank you Emilie!

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Sam, grew up in the area and knew it like the back of his hand. The places he took us to were in full bloom and gave us a wonderful sense of the world of lavender. This was a bucket list thing, so put a check mark on that.

I expected a little more connection to the lavender fields on this tour, but it was really just a tour of Provence, with two lavender field stops, one including the lavender shop at the Abbey. Expected that we would be taken to a lavender plantation where we could buy high quality lavender products. Our guide was very lovely, but some commentary along the way would have been nice. I did appreciate the market stop in L'Isle sur la Sorge and the ice-cream recommendation in Roussillon.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Bonjour,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the charm of Provence, the market in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and the ice cream in Roussillon, such wonderful touches of the region!
We're sorry to hear the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations in terms of lavender immersion. Your remarks about the desire for more commentary and a stop at a dedicated lavender plantation are very helpful, and we’ll certainly take them into account as we strive to improve the experience.
We're happy you found the guide lovely, and we do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for a more tailored visit.
