Description:
Explore the world of lavender, the aromatic symbol of Provence. Discover picturesque Provençal villages and experience a traditional open-air market. As you drive along scenic roads, marvel at the impressive canyons and luminous waters of the breathtaking Gorges du Verdon.
Ride through the stunning Plateau de Valensole, a vast purple sea of fragrant lavender fields stretching as far as the eye can see, dotted with lovely Provençal villages. Stop in one to experience a typical open-air market. Open your senses to the sounds, smells, and flavors of the market, and admire colorful Provençal fabrics, soaps, table linens, and pottery. Be tempted by the fruits and vegetables, local wines and cheeses, and fresh-from-the-oven pastries and breads before heading to your next stop in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie.
Located at the mouth of the Gorges du Verdon, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is set on terraces that scale the side of a 2,066-foot (630-m) cliff. Enjoy a take a breaking walk in the heart of the village, admiring the remarkable medieval church, the spring-fed waterfall that flows through town, and the legend-wreathed star that hangs overhead.
Continue to Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon and stroll by the lovely houses and pretty shaded squares of the lakefront village. Marvel at the breathtaking views of the Lake of Sainte Croix and the magnificent Gorges du Verdon. End your tour at the L’Occitane factory and museum, where you can learn about essential oils and the process of making natural cosmetics.
