Itinéraire
Source fraîche et calme en hiver et en été, torrent montant et impétueux au printemps et en automne, la Fontaine est une véritable merveille de la nature qui ne cesse de surprendre.Le printemps est le plus copieusement productif d'Europe et l'un des le plus grand au monde, en volume d'eau.
C'est une vraie photo de carte postale. Gordon est l'un des villages perchés les plus connus de la région.

Cette immense et superbe forteresse de pierre est sans aucun doute l'un des "incontournables" de Provence. Le village est officiellement classé et labellisé "l'un des plus beaux villages de France".
Pont du Gard, un chef-d'œuvre de l'architecture ancienne construit au milieu du 1er siècle après JC. Il s'agit de la construction principale d'un aqueduc de 50 km de long qui alimentait en eau la ville de Nîmes, anciennement Némausus. Construit comme un aqueduc à trois niveaux d'une hauteur de 50 m, il permettait à l'eau de s'écouler sur le Gardon.

long day but very interesting. Guide was knowledgable but not too careful of her group. The vehicle door was closed by guide on a guest's fingers, causing damage and pain. Also three people in front seat felt very crowded.
Packed day with lots of stops of interest. Knowledgeable and friendly guide Perhaps not for those looking for a more relaxed experience
It was a wonderful day of sightseeing the beautiful villages in Provence, including some lavender fields although the season was already over! Our guide Anne, went out of her way to show us 2 sites which had lavender fields because it was one of the main sights we were hoping to see. Anne told us interesting facts about the area and places.She knew the best spots for photos.Anne was witty and engaging throughout the trip. She took the 3 of us guests in a car instead of the minivan which made for a faster n more comfy ride. Each village had its own charm- Rousillion, Gordes, St Remy, Les Baux, Fontain du Vasce( spelt correctly?). We had a short time in each but enough for a taste of local flavour n culture! The best was saved for last , the amazing Pont du Gard! We had a great time and lovely weather....we would definitely recommend this tour as it showed the highlights of Provence in a delightful way, enhanced by our excellent guide Anne. Thank you, Anne!
Very good whole day trips ! The guide is so experienced and brought us to learn a lot about the culture, history … etc
Definitely do it - a great day with a super tour guide is guaranteed!
Anne was great! Very knowledgeable about everywhere we went. You can tell she’s very passionate about what she does and loves the Provence region.
Fantastic tour from Natalie. She was very professional and insightful to all the places we visited. There were many towns that we visited that were all so unique and interesting - which shows it was a very thought-out experience. It is a big day, and you can get food along any of the towns you visit but you can also bring your own food if you wish. Still recommend bringing sunscreen and your own food. If you go Point Du Gard, you can swim there (albeit briefly). Highly recommend!
It was a great day trip to see all the beautiful villages in Provence in one day. Our tour operator Anne and tour guild Natalie are both super nice and helpful. Natalie is very knowledgeable and arranged everything very well. Thank you both! The only regret is that we did not get to see Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senanque, which is an icon of Provence and we came in the lavender season... Somehow our tour guild said she was informed that this year all the lavender there was gone, so she did not take us there.
Outstanding tour leader who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The venues we visited were of sufficient time to experience the locality and make it a great memory.
This tour was an excellent way to experience a diverse selection of towns in a short space of time. We loved the variety and the unexpected surprises along the way. Anne was an exceptional guide - she shared her wisdom and knowledge in a warm and friendly manner, has mastered the must have camera shots, and kept her cool on an excessively hot Summer’s day. Lots of ‘wow’ moments. Would recommend highly.
