First, depart with your driver for the Valensole Plateau. This is one of the must-see places to admire the fields, stroll through them and, above all, photograph the landscapes. Indeed, in Valensole, the lavender fields are incredibly beautiful and picture-perfect. (Available in June and July only)

Then, it's off to the Verdon Canyon. The largest canyon in Europe, located between the towns of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, offers majestic landscapes.

The Verdon River has taken its time, carving out this canyon over thousands of years, and we can admire it today. We'll go to the Galetas Bridge, where we'll enjoy one of the most stunning views of the Verdon Gorge and the Lake of Sainte-Croix. As a bonus, and exceptionally, we will take a short pedal boat ride on the lake – an unforgettable experience!

Afterwards, you will head to the village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, nestled under a rocky cliff and surrounded by mountains from all sides. Known for its rich history in ceramic craftsmanship, you will have free time to explore Moustiers at your leisure.

Discover the earthenware in the stores and buy souvenirs before lunch in one of the terrace cafes. Photograph the world-famous lavender plateaus or admire Lac de Sainte-Croix, an artificial treasure of clear water that is one of the most beautiful lakes in Provence.

Then admire the lavender fields stretching as far as the eye can see at the foot of the Alps, and stop to take unique and memorable photos with this impressive backdrop. Stop to breathe in the light, enchanting aroma of the lavender surrounding you.

After enjoying your day trip, you will return to your vehicle, which will take you back to your point of origin in Aix-en-Provence.
