Excursion to Provence: Hilltop Villages and Markets
Excursions & Unique
2 Place du Général de Gaulle 13100 Aix en Provence,
Information
DISCOVER THE PICTURESQUE VILLAGES OF THIS CHARMING REGION!
During the tour you will visit a traditional market in Gordes, Bonnieux or Isle sur la Sorgue (depending on the day) and meet different local artisans still practicing time-honored crafts.
Your minbus will first head to Isle sur la Sorgue, also known as Illa Venissa (Venice Island), an enchanting village set upon the water that's home to a variety of antique shops and cafés.
You will then set off to Gordes, one of the most beautiful villages in France. From this hilltop vantage point, you'll get a stunning panoramic view of the region.
Your minibus will then stop at the famous Cistercian Senanque abbey, located amid vast lavender fields, before heading to Rousillon. Perched on a ochre cliff, its buildings are different shades of yellow, orange and red, giving the impression of paints mixed on a painter's palette. Fall under the charm of the picturesque scenery!
The tour will end with a visit to the typical villages of Bonnieux and Lourmarin, where you can take a moment to contemplate the views across the surrounding vineyards and olive tress.
At the end of your day, you will be driven back to Aix en Provence.
