Overview
Your morning small-group tour begins with pickup from Avignon. Take a seat in the comfortable minivan and enjoy the passing Provençal landscape, famous for endless swathes of lavender and postcard-worthy villages carved from stone. The summer particularly affords glorious views, which you’ll have the chance to capture at photo stops.
Explore beautiful Rousillon, a hilltop village at the edge of the Luberon mountain range, marked for its brilliant red stone buildings. Learn about the town’s unique mining history as you view the surrounding ochre cliffs, painted in shades of red and yellow. Then continue to Gordes, one of France’s most gorgeous villages. Composed of white stone, this ancient town seems to rise straight from the earth.
Your last stop is Fontaine de Vaucluse, a typical provençal village built at the spring of the Sorgues river.
Your 5,5-hour tour ends with drop-off in Avignon.

A trip worth doing - in good weather
thehurlows, Oct 2024
This was an excellent tour - led by our tour guide Matilda. She was pleasant, well informed and mindful of her group (8) The tour itself (half day) - gave us a good overview of Roussillon, Gordes and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse with enough time to explore and enjoy all these destinations. This tour comes highly recommended especially on a sunny day.

This half day tour was cancelled, but I was offered a full day tour to replace it. I really loved it. Jocelyn, the guide was funny, informative and engaging, and the small group number was great . We packed so much in to the day - very good value
