YOUR PRIVATE TOUR IN THE LAVENDERS & GORGES OF VERDON
Dive into the Lavender fields and the Gorges du Verdon
In the Gorges du Verdon
Your tour with your VTC driver will start with a natural excursion to the lake of Sainte Croix. On its edges, you will be transported by the smell of thyme, rosemary or lavender adjoining the pure and turquoise water of France’s 3rd greatest lake. A short walk will let you enjoy from far your previous halts of the day.
A perched village: Moutiers-Sainte-Marie
At the crossroads of the Verdon gorges and the lavender route, you will appreciate one of the most beautiful villages in France. On top of its architecture, this ancient winegrowing town is today internationally known for its earthenware. Admirable from the top of the Notre-Dame-de-Beauvoir chapel (that goes from the Maire valley up until the Valensole plateau), the Moustiers-Sainte-Marie’s decors will stay forever in your mind!
The lavender fields of the Valensole plateau
Once your private driver has picked you up at the agreed location, your private tour will begin with a visit to one of the region’s most unforgettable azure landscapes. Bathed in sunshine for over three hundred days a year, the Valensole plateau offers a unique panorama of lavender fields stretching as far as the eye can see . This former almond orchard now undulates, to our olfactory and visual delight, according to the eternal whims of the mistral wind. Your private driver will take you to the most secluded spots, allowing you to escape amidst the fragrant aromas.
Discovery of a lavender distillery
In the heart of this dry limestone land, you will be able to enjoy the fragrances of a traditional distillery. You will learn all the secrets (or almost all) of the process of transformation of the flower – whose color bears its name – into perfume, cosmetic or even medicinal product.
Visit to L'Occitane en Provence
To conclude this private tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the museum of l’Occitane en Provence as well as its garden castles. You will be able to judge the authenticity of the manufacturing process of these essential Provencal cosmetics by an immersion in the factory.
