Lavender Tour In Valensole

Enjoy a full-day lavender tour from Aix-en-Provence to discover the blue and purple fields of Valensole.

Depart Aix-en-Provence where your friendly, local guide awaits at 9am. Step into the luxury minivan and take the stunning drive to lavender country, leading to the Valensole Plateau. Soak up the beautiful views while your guide explains the history and culture behind this "blue gold" as you pass through fields of lavender. Across the Durance River valley, arrive at Valensole and get insight from a local producer on all aspects of lavender: its harvest, distillation and products. Stop at photo ops for amazing snapshots of these picture-perfect fields. Visit Moustiers-Sainte-Marie afterwards; this limestone cliff village is renowned for its earthenware workshops which you can explore during free time (lunch not included). Journey on for one last stop in Sainte Croix de Verdon, an iconic Provençal village set against the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon of the River Verdon. To top off, pause by Sainte Croix Lake before heading back to Aix-en-Provence.
