Overview

⚠️ New vehicle from March 2026!

Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and will be your native Guide of this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 tours I offer, I take you today to the lavender fields of Provence and to 2 typical villages that are Gordes and Roussillon.

I will first take you to the Abbey of Senanque, an 11th century building with magnificent lavender fields managed by the monks.

You will then spend free time in the village of Gordes, built of dry stone on a rocky promontory. Then we will make a quick stop at the iconic viewpoint on the village before a picnic consisting of fresh produce from local farms.

We will then enjoy the magnificent lavender fields of the Plateau des Claparèdes and Velleron, all with Mont Ventoux as a backdrop, interspersed with a visit to the village of Roussillon, with its facades entirely composed of ochre, giving it its unique color.

What's Included

  • Lunch Picnic made of fresh produce from local farmers, e.g. boiled eggs, tapenade, pepper cream, fresh goat cheese, seasonal fruit, fruit juice
  • Visit to Gordes
  • Photo stop at the viewpoint on Gordes
