Lavender in Provence: Recommended tours & tickets

This is a small group tour is unique because seeing the lavender fields is an unmissable experience, but also because it lets you go far away from big cities and immerse yourself in nature. We are aware most of the people buy this tour to take pictures, this is why we will spend most of your time in the lavender fields. If you happen to be alone we will offer to take pictures of you in the lavender fields. We also visit a small village of Provence. See beautiful landscapes and have the possibility of buying natural product as lavender honey, syrups, lavender bouquets, almonds, olive oil, directly from the producers. This tour is also unique as our driver/guides particularly kind and safe drivers.

Because if you go to the lavender fields to take pictures, the golden light is between 8pm and 9:30pm. During the day the light is very strong and it can be very hot. We will leave Marseille at 4:15pm so we can catch the nice sunset when we get to Valensole plateau. The trip to get there is around 1 hour and 20 minutes. You will be surrounded by fields of lavender, the famous Provençal scented plant, abound here. We will also stop in a lavender distillery along the way where you have the opportunity to buy products directly from the producers; and we will leave you some free time in the village of Valensole. The best time for lovers of typical Provençal landscapes to visit is middle of June to end of July, when Valensole plateau is awash with beautiful blue lavender in bloom. It's a sight – and scent – to behold!

You should book this tour because the lavender fields are very very beautiful to see and experience. You will have plenty of time for taking pictures, and a friendly driver/guide to lead the tour in a safe and informative way.
