The Valensole Plateau is renowned for its cultivation of "lavandin". Your knowledgeable guide will enlighten you about the history, traditions, and culture surrounding this "blue gold". Throughout your lavender tour, the guide will ensure you don’t miss out on any photo opportunities, showcasing the lavender fields in all their glory. You'll also have the chance to visit a local producer who will share insights into the iconic flower of Provence and its various products, such as essential oil, lavender honey, and other lavender-based specialities.

Your journey continues with a stop at Moustiers-Ste-Marie, a village nestled high in the limestone cliffs, famed for its earthenware workshops. Enjoy some free time to explore and grab lunch. In the afternoon, seize the opportunity to capture awe-inspiring photos of the Verdon River's crystal clear waters and beautiful surroundings. Finally, your guide will escort you back to Marseille.
