Description

Stroll through the villages of the Luberon and discover the region’s traditional markets! Enjoy the day discovering the lavender fields!

Your day tour to discover Provencal charm will start early in the morning.On the program: discover the picturesque villages of Gordes, Roussillon or Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (depending on the period of your visit) and a traditional market to meet the region's artisans and their unique know-how. Awaken your senses with the colorful stalls and the different fragrances of local specialties: olives, seasonal fruits and vegetables, lavender, nougat....

You'll cross the Luberon and its charming mini-van houses to reach the Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, also known as the "Venice of Comtadine". You'll be charmed by this small village criss-crossed by canals and dotted with traditional stores and antiques.

You'll then make a stop at Fontaine-de-Vaucluse known for its resurgence and chasm, before discovering one of France's most beautiful villages: Gordes. This perched village will offer you a panoramic view of the region that will literally take your breath away.

You'll stop at the famous abbaye de Sénanque surrounded by fields of lavender (June 15 to July 15 only), before heading to the village of Roussillon. Perched on a cliff with infinite shades of ochre, Roussillon is like a painter's palette. You'll be enchanted by this picturesque landscape.

Finally, enjoy a unique moment and an exceptional view between vineyards and olive groves in Lourmarin and let yourself be tempted by candied fruit in Apt!

At the end of the day, you'll return to Marseille accompanied by your driver.
