Perfect Day Exploring Provence: Perfume, Medieval Villages, and Great Laughs with Bruno!
My friend and I had a fantastic time exploring Provence with our guide, Bruno, who was hilarious, knowledgeable, and made the whole day run seamlessly! With a small group maxing out at eight people, it was a great chance to meet lovely travelers from four different countries.
We started at a perfumery in Grasse, the capital of perfume making. Since we’d visited a perfume museum the day before, we skipped that portion and headed straight to the shop to sample (and buy! 😅) several scents. We then had plenty of time to explore Grasse's charming narrow alleys, cozy cafés, quaint shops, and stunning cathedral.
Next, we visited Tourrettes-sur-Loup, a gorgeous medieval hilltop village filled with shops featuring local artisan crafts, followed by Gourdon for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. (If you opt for a quicker lunch, you'll have extra time to wander the town, too!)
After lunch, we stopped by a scenic waterfall and a local shop stocked with authentic Provençal lavender oils and products. We wrapped up the day with an hour and a half in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a picturesque medieval town packed with art galleries and lovely boutiques.
Bruno’s great sense of humor made the day so much fun. Apparently, our group managed to pack the trunk with more purchases than any of his previous tours—we like to call it "supporting the French economy!" 😅
Merci, Bruno, for a fabulous tour!

Great guide
Bruno was such a fun guide- beautiful spots to visit and great exploration of cute towns. Loved having such a funny guide who was able to answer all questions as well as provide local recommendations for the villages we were visiting.

The villages and scenery...
The villages and scenery were exquisitely beautiful! The day was scheduled well with enough time in each village.
The roads are very windy, so caution to those prone to motion sickness.
Our guide, Miriam (Mimi) was a great driver and was just delightful!

Lake, lavendar and castles ✨
This was an amazing experience. We drove thru the mountains, swam in the lake within the canyon, stopped by a couple of villages and check out the lavender fields. Our tour guide Marion was great at her job teaching us the history, taking us to beautiful views and gave us enough time each stop to enjoy it all. Can’t wait to return. ❤️

Relaxing tour
I enjoyed this tour mostly because it was relaxing, and it had a much slower pace than other day trips if taken. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to see many of the small towns I had previously driven by on other tours. Lauren was a wonderful guide and I enjoyed the company of the other travelers.

A wonderful day out
We enjoy the itinerary and the places we went to, but most striking was our guide Bruno. He made the day with his amazing personality. Bruno made the whole experience above and beyond what we expected.
We recommend the strip both for the places we have seen and visit and having such a wonderful guide.
