Such a dreamy day in the lavender!

Janet_J, Sep 2024

The dreamiest day in France! Our guides had 2 vans and drove us from Marseille to Valensole and the areas nearby. The lavender was in full bloom in mid-July, and the fields were simply amazing! The fields delighted all of the senses—the intoxicating smell, the buzz of the bees, the intense purples, and the tickle of the stems touching our legs. The beauty of it all filled our hearts with joy. Our guides took us to several fields and drove us by many more. We visited a farm that grew lavender, grapes, flowers, olives and kept honey bees. We were able to taste all of their delights and buy some of our own. As we headed into the mountains, we witnessed even more beauty. We had lunch in a high mountain village, before heading to a gorgeous lake. Our guides were very friendly and informative, and were very careful as they drove through the mountain roads. We finished our tour on time and we were so thankful for such a dreamy day!

Awesome tour guide with amazing lavender fields

Charles_S, Jul 2024

Ines was a very pleasant, friendly, and safe driver who took us to two beautiful fully blooming lavender fields, which was the highlight of our trip. We also enjoyed visiting too small picturesque villages and a nice lake. It was a hot and sunny day, but this was a very interesting and fun trip because of the awesome tour guide and great scenery.

The guide was the best and so were the lavender fields

Anana_P, Jul 2024

The guide was the best. It really made a big difference to have a guide who allowed you to have your own unique experience while sharing all the great history. She should train other guides. Five stars for the fields and the guide. Merci Beaucoup!

Amazing!

A long tour but so worth it to see the lavender! We ended up going to 4 fields and also got to go to a food producer to sample some lavender products, a beautiful town for lunch and shopping and then the lake at Saint Croix. The tour doesn’t mention the swimming option so you should bring your suits if you want to get in or rent a paddle boat. Hugo did an awesome job on time and all of the long driving!

Bonjour,

We are happy that you enjoyed your trip in Provence with our guide Hugo,

I refer you to the link of the tour you booked and where it is clearly stated that you must bring a swimsuit, I am sorry that you were not able to enjoy swimming in the lake.

Nice way to spend the day

Brian_V, Jul 2024

Ines was a wonderful guide and knew which lavender and sunflower fields to go to for vibrant colors and away from the crowds. We stopped at a small lavender and olive farm for a tasting and time to buy a few items which was interesting and fun. Lunch in a medieval town then a drink overlooking the lake was a nice finish to the day. Definitely recommend this tour.
