Discover the Magic of Lavender Fields in Provence
Valensole Plateau – Endless Lavender Horizons
Begin your journey on the Valensole Plateau, the crown jewel of Provence's lavender country. As far as the eye can see, waves of purple lavender stretch across the golden hills, offering one of the most iconic and photogenic landscapes in France.
Walk through fragrant fields in full bloom (typically late June to mid-July)
Learn about lavender cultivation and distillation at a local farm or boutique
Taste Provençal delights like lavender honey, nougat, and essential oils
Stop at carefully selected photo viewpoints, ideal for drone or DSLR photography
Your guide will ensure a peaceful, crowd-free experience with access to lesser-known lavender fields tucked away from tourist traffic.
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie – Hilltop Elegance & Artisan Beauty
Nestled into the cliffs at the gateway of the Gorges du Verdon, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is officially one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. With its cascading waterfall, narrow stone streets, and ancient chapel overlooking the valley, Moustiers is a storybook Provençal village frozen in time.
Discover ceramic and faïence ateliers, famous for their handcrafted artistry
Enjoy lunch in a local bistro or gourmet restaurant (recommendations available)
Explore the village at your leisure, or climb to the Notre-Dame-de-Beauvoir chapel for spectacular views
Lac de Sainte-Croix – Turquoise Majesty
End your day with a scenic drive to one of Provence’s natural wonders: the Lac de Sainte-Croix, known for its surreal turquoise waters. Pause at panoramic viewpoints where the blue lake contrasts with the green hills and lavender fields, creating unforgettable images.
You may also opt for a short walk near the lake or simply relax and enjoy the view—an exquisite finale to a day of Provençal perfection.
