Lavender Route - Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon
Lavender Route - Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon
Explore some of the most secret lavender fields of Provence on this small-group day trip from Avignon. During the harvesting season (in July) we will also take you to a local farm, where you'll have the chance to watch over the distillation of lavender. Discover top attractions including 12th-century Sénanque Abbey with its famous lavender fields (generally blooming at the end of June), and take some time to explore at your own pace some traditional Provençal villages such as Gordes and Roussillon — home to the famous Ochre Trail.
Along the way through the Luberon valley, admire beautiful views over rolling lavender fields stretching into the distance and enjoy personal attention from your tour guide on this small-group tour, limited to 8 people.
