Stop atRoussillon
After a short drive, you will arrive at Roussillon, a typical hilltop village located just above a rock formation called the “Provencal Colorado“. Here, you will have some time for personal discovery that will allow you to stroll down the village or walk along the “ochre path"

Stop atLourmarin
Not far from Roussillon (a few minutes far from it), you will discover the village of Lourmarin, a quite unique place. There, as you stroll the winding streets, the architecture in the village reveals its many riches: from the Renaissance to the Baroque period, from Classicism to the 19th century, the houses in Lourmarin highlight the incomparable know-how of those builders often little known to the general public. After the visit to this charming village, it will be time to return to Aix en Provence (1-hour drive).

All down to the Guide

The villages included in the Luberon full day trip itinerary are definitely worth visiting. Given nearly all hill top sites have relatively similar charms in terms of structure, architecture and layout once you are inside them and walking about what tends to differentiate them is the appearance as you approach. Each perches on its uniquely distinctive rock outcrop, crag or cliff and each offers a different perspective of the surrounding countryside when viewed from its walls and ramparts. On this tour all the villages despite sharing some characteristics were sufficiently different to justify the cost and time spent a mini-bus travelling to and from Aix and between the individual sites. Our estimate would be 3- 31/2 hours of road travel. It was also a big plus to be given sufficient free time to explore each alone on foot.
However with so long in the mini-bus the role of the guide can be crucial in making or breaking the overall enjoyment of the trip. Unfortunately ours fell into the latter category. A good guide is sensitive to the interests and preferences of their passengers and initiates a dialogue with them rather than being in love with the sound of their own voice and determined to bombard a captive (and increasingly weary) audience with an unremitting flow of obscure and marginal facts laced with personal opinions on anything and everything from climate change to domestic political issues. Whilst there were probably some useful and interesting snippets of information hidden within these unceasing monologues they got lost and we found the him so tedious we resorted to listening to music on noise cancelling headphones. With a different guide we would have been minded to give the trip 5 stars.

Beautiful villages visited. Loved the Ochre path - wasn't sure what to expect but surpassed our expectations. Our guide Camille was flexible and gave us choices for how long to spend in each place. It was fast paced but had just enough time at each village to see what we needed to see
Wonderful day

Route to Luberon villages is very picturesque. Julian answered all our questions.

Best of all I liked Rusillion and amazing Ochres trail.
It was memorable day in a great company.
