Join our small group lavender tour and discover the magic of Provence’s lavender fields. Departing from Aix-en-Provence, this shared journey takes you into the heart of the iconic Valensole Plateau and surrounding Provence countryside, where rolling purple fields and golden landscapes create unforgettable views.
Celebrated by visitors from around the world, our lavender tours offer a sensory experience through some of France’s most picturesque scenery. Stroll through vibrant rows of fragrant lavender at the peak of blooming season, enjoy carefully chosen photo stops, and take in the peaceful rural ambiance of Provence.
Travel with an English-speaking driver-guide who shares insights into lavender cultivation, harvesting, and distillation, as well as the plant’s many uses in perfume, cosmetics, and traditional Provençal life. Along the way, you’ll discover why lavender has become a symbol of Provence and how climate, soil, and altitude shape its unique character.
Gain special access to traditional lavender farms and boutiques, where you may observe the distillation process when in season and sample lavender-inspired products such as honey, essential oils, soaps, and ice cream. This is the perfect opportunity to bring home authentic Provençal souvenirs directly from local producers.
With small group sizes and comfortable, air-conditioned transport, this tour is designed for a relaxed and personal experience. It is ideal for photographers, nature enthusiasts, couples, and families seeking a serene escape from the city while discovering one of Provence’s most iconic landscapes.
Lavender blooming season in Provence typically runs from late June to late July, depending on weather conditions and altitude. Our itineraries are adapted to visit the most colorful areas available at the time of your tour. Please bring comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and water, as some photo stops take place in open fields with limited shade.
