Super moment!
Very nice moment with a very pleasant guide who knows his subject well!

Lavender of the Valensole
This is such a lovely experience, and Violet is the perfect guide for the occasion. She’s charming, intelligent, speaks impeccable, English, as well as French and Farsi. She watches out that every guest has what they need, is enjoying themselves and has time to experience the spectacular scenery of Valensole. We cannot recommend it more highly and certainly recommend Violet.

Wonderful trip to the lavender fields!
Wonderful trip to the lavender fields! Stopped at two separate locations to take pictures and experience the fields. We also visited a market to learn about the nature and history of the fields; taste various lavender infused foods and grab some refreshments. And had time to stop at a sunflower field. Morgane was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and fluent in both English and French. Excellent trip overall.

A perfect half day trip
This tour was perfect! Our guide Julien was wonderful, he was so approachable. The two lavender fields we stopped at were stunning, and we especially loved the stop at a local producer, Domaine Les Grande Marges, everything was divine!
