1.Half-Day Lavender Tour of Luberon

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 232 reviews · 5 hours · from $106Our pick

Join an English or French-speaking guide, such as Emilie, Leonie, or Ryan, for a five-hour minibus trip from Avignon. Stop at lavender fields, wander Roussillon, photograph Gordes, and frame Sénanque Abbey. The group is limited to eight, but field access is for photos only, not walking among the plants.

“Everything was great! Even though we went on 13th of June, many fields were already in bloom! And Emilie was driving us to some secluded ones so we would be there alone. Seemed like not enough time in each location, would be great to stay a couple of days in each village, but that would be whole other tour - for this one we saw everything we wanted 🙌🏻”
