2.Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 241 reviews · 4 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $108Top rated

Travel from Aix-en-Provence in a small, air-conditioned minibus to flowering lavender fields in Valensole or Sault. Your English-speaking driver-guide explains lavender varieties, harvest timing, and local life. Choose a four-hour outing or a full day with Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, photo stops, and time at Lake Sainte-Croix.

“Emmanuelle our guide was very informative, gave us ample town to take photos in the beautiful lavender fields. The visit to the beautiful hilltop village of Moustier St. Marie was a great place to stop for lunch and enjoy a walk around on your own. Our next stop in St Croix lake would have been perfect if the tour details said to pack a swimsuit and beach towel, because it was hot that day and the season for it. A quick dip in the beautiful crystal blue lake would have been refreshing . I would highly recommend this tour (and pack that swimsuit !)”
