Private Tour: Verdon Gorges & Lavender Fields

A full-day escape into the heart of Provence: turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, a village of potters and – in early summer – endless purple fields of lavender. A long day that is far more comfortable with your own chauffeur.

Itinerary idea

• Early pick-up in Nice or Cannes.
• Gorges du Verdon – often called the “Grand Canyon of Europe”, with panoramic viewpoints along the cliffs.
• Lake Sainte-Croix – famous for its turquoise water; possibility to rent a pedal boat or electric boat at the entrance of the gorges.
• Moustiers-Sainte-Marie – one of the most beautiful villages in France, known for its traditional earthenware.
• Valensole plateau – the iconic lavender fields, in bloom from mid-June to mid-July.
• Return to your accommodation in the evening.

Practical information
