About this experience

⚠️ New vehicle from March 2026! Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and will be your native Guide of this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 tours I offer, I take you today to the lavender fields of Provence and to 2 typical villages that are Gordes and Roussillon. This tour will alternate between photo breaks in the lavender fields near the villages of Velleron and Oppède, but also at the emblematic Abbey of Sénanque, and visits to emblematic villages of the region. I will accompany you for the visit of Roussillon and its facades entirely ochre, and you will walk freely in Gordes, built in dry stone on a rocky promontory. We will also stop at the viewpoint on this iconic village of Provence. In the meantime, we picnic in the shade, with a beautiful view of the Luberon valley. This picnic will consist only of fresh produce from local farms.

A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.

How much does A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence cost?

+

Prices start at $119 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Avignon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Avignon is not rushed.

Is A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Avignon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Avignon and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does A day in the Lavenders and Villages of Provence start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Avignon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Avignon?

+

On Outty we rank every Avignon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour, Highlights of Provence in One Day, Provence Highlights Full-Day Tour from Avignon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Avignon?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Avignon?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
