Description

Set off along the Verdon Gorge and discover Moustiers-Sainte-Marie during a day in Provence!

Departing from Aix-en-Provence, you will meet your guide in the morning before leaving the city to travel through the landscapes of the Provençal countryside. Along the way, you will enjoy views over the hills and wide-open spaces that make the region so renowned.

Depending on the season, you will make a first stop on the Valensole plateau, known for its lavender fields. You will also visit a local producer to learn more about regional products and traditional know-how.

The day will continue in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, a village nestled against the mountainside and famous for its earthenware. You will have free time to wander through its streets, explore local craft shops, and enjoy a lunch break at your own pace.

You will then head towards the Sainte-Croix Lake area and the Pont de Galetas. You will admire the turquoise waters of the Verdon River and the striking natural landscapes surrounding this iconic site. A stop in one of the nearby villages will complete your visit.

In the late afternoon, you will return to Aix-en-Provence after a day discovering some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Provence.
