Lavender Tour In Valensole

Enjoy a full-day lavender tour from Aix-en-Provence to discover the blue and purple fields of Valensole.

Travel by minivan into the heart of Provence, heading toward the stunning Valensole Plateau, where rolling hills are painted with endless rows of lavender. Along scenic country roads, enjoy breathtaking views while your expert guide shares stories about the region and its traditions.

After crossing the Durance River valley, you’ll reach Valensole, an area renowned for its production of lavandin, often called Provence’s “blue gold.” Learn about its history, cultivation, and importance as your guide explains the differences between lavender and lavandin. Stops are planned at the best viewpoints, giving you plenty of time to photograph the fields at their peak beauty.

You’ll also meet a local producer who will introduce you to the harvest and distillation process, as well as the many lavender-based products.

The tour continues to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, a charming village set against limestone cliffs, with free time for lunch. Later, admire the Verdon Gorge from Pont de Galetas and relax by Lake Sainte-Croix.
