Journée champs de lavande et gorges du Verdon au départ de Nice

Embark on a full-day journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes of Provence — from majestic canyons to picture-perfect lavender fields.

This small-group tour takes you into the heart of the Verdon Natural Regional Park, through dramatic gorges, medieval villages, and lavender-covered plateaus (in season).

Start your day with a scenic drive through the Gorges du Loup and its 40-meter-high waterfall before reaching Castellane, a charming village nestled beneath a dramatic cliff and known as the gateway to the Verdon Gorge.

Follow the road along the Verdon River, famous for its striking turquoise-green waters, and stop at several viewpoints overlooking the canyon — one of Europe’s deepest.

Continue to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, a stunning village built into the mountainside, renowned for its traditional ceramics and Provençal charm. Enjoy free time for lunch, shopping, or simply wandering its cobbled streets.

In summer, the final highlight is unforgettable: the lavender fields in bloom, stretching across the Plateau de Valensole and beyond. Take in the incredible views, breathe in the sweet scent, and snap the perfect Provençal photo.

Then, enjoy a relaxing stop by the shimmering Lac de Sainte-Croix, a pristine turquoise lake formed by the Verdon River — perfect for a refreshing dip or a quiet moment in nature.

Note: Lavender season is from mid-June to mid-August — subject to natural variations.
