From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Nov 15.
1. Departure – Comfort from the First Moment We pick you up directly from your accommodation. Step into our spacious, air-conditioned Mercedes van, offering plush leather seats, chilled water, and panoramic windows—ideal for the stunning vistas to come. ⸻ 2. Saut du Loup – Your First Breathtaking View Our first stop is at the Saut du Loup waterfalls, where powerful cascades rush through a narrow gorge. The perfect place for a photo opportunity and to breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Now’s your moment to see it in full bloom. Now imagine standing there, in the heart of Valensole, with the scent of lavender all around you and golden sunflowers swaying in the breeze. It’s not just beautiful – it’s unforgettable. The lavender is blooming right now, but only for a few short weeks. This is your chance to live that dream – before it fades for another year. And here’s a tip – bring a good camera, and wear clothes that contrast with the colors around you. White, light blue, or earthy tones look amazing in the fields. The photos will be unforgettable. Lavender Fields – Seasonal Splendor (June to mid-July) Lavender season doesn’t last – by mid-July, it’s already fading.
Castellane – The Gateway to the Verdon Canyon Nestled between dramatic limestone cliffs and the winding Verdon River, Castellane is a charming medieval town that blends natural beauty with authentic Provençal charm. Just steps from the entrance to the famous Gorges du Verdon, it’s the perfect starting point for any adventure into France’s most spectacular canyon. Wander through its cobbled streets, browse local artisan shops, or enjoy a coffee in the lively square. Above the town, the iconic Notre-Dame du Roc chapel watches over the valley—climb the path for a breathtaking panoramic view. Castellane is more than a scenic stop—it’s a place where history, nature, and local culture meet. Whether you’re here for the views, the adventure, or the ambiance, Castellane promises a memorable pause on your journey through Provence.
3. Gréolières – Alpine Beauty with a Riviera Soul We continue through the quaint village of Gréolières, perched high in the pre-Alps. This hidden gem offers sweeping views and a peaceful atmosphere. A brief stop here lets you enjoy the charm of rural Provence before we journey deeper into the mountains.
