A must do experience when in Provence
A fantastic and inexpensive experience and the best way to experience the famous Lavender fields of Provence. Pierre was the most wonderful guide and was incredibly knowledgable and friendly, he truly made the whole day experience unforgettable.

Enjoyable but…
Overall it is a nice experience, however, if Valensole is the lavender field that is wanted, it must be made clearer that these fields are not able to be seen after a certain date as a result of harvesting (July 15). I did appreciate our tour guide Donato going the extra mile to find us fields in Sault that could be photographed. The stops to the villages in between were as well. This review is getting 4 stars only because of the tour guide.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Nancy Thank you so much for your honest feedback! Lavender harvesting depends entirely on individual producers, who adapt to weather conditions each year, so we're unfortunately never able to guarantee an exact date for when a specific field will be harvested. We adjust our tours accordingly and always ask our guides to find beautiful, still-visible fields so our guests leave satisfied. We're delighted Donato went the extra mile for you in Sault!

Due to the summer...
Due to the summer heatwave, the lavender fields we were suppose to visit (the ones in Gorge, Moustier-Sainte-Marie etc) had bloomed & harvested earlier than expected. So we were informed that we’ll be redirected to Sault. There was a link to show our “new itinerary” but accessing it showed the same original itinerary with Sault added to the end. As we were uninformed of the new itinerary routing, it was a shock & disappointment to us when we discovered enroute that we were brought through the Luberon Villages instead. This is because we already had a booking with another operator for a Luberon Villages tour. We wished that we had known of the new itinerary in advance hence we could make the necessary changes to our own holiday schedule. Other than this issue, the tour was fine. The van was spacious, the places we were brought to were interesting too. Though Marie abandoned her headset early in the tour so for us who sat right at the back, it was difficult to hear what she was sharing.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of the vehicle and the places visited during the excursion. We understand your disappointment regarding the itinerary changes. Due to the exceptional heatwave this summer, the lavender bloomed and was harvested much earlier than usual in several regions of Provence. Therefore, we had to modify the itinerary at the last minute so that our clients could still admire the lavender fields in bloom, with Sault becoming the main destination. Indeed, we did not communicate the new itinerary before your excursion; we will do so next year ;-) Thank you for your understanding in light of these exceptional weather conditions and for sharing your experience with us. Maybe next time in Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Loire, Paris, Normandy. Best regardsA LA FRANCAISE!

Average tour overall
The trip achieved what it was intended to do - to see the lavender fields. Overall however, the trip didn’t seem worth it for the price point. There was too little time to explore the villages, the commentary by the guide was monotonous, and the lavender distillery/ shop stop did not have a good variety of products to purchase.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad the lavender fields lived up to expectations, but sorry the pacing and commentary fell short — that's not the experience we aim for. We'll share your comments on village time and the shop's variety with our team. Team À la française

Lovely Lavender fields
Our guide Julian made this experience even more memorable for my family! His knowledge was greatly appreciated. The fields are even more beautiful in person than you can imagine (even in the July heat!)
Response from the operator: Bonjour Ann, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback and our guide Julien. Thank you for choosing A la Française! and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon for another memorable experience A LA FRANCAISE! : in Burgundy, Champagne, Bordeaux, Loire, Paris and in Normandy! Best regards Team A la Française !

Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aix-en-Provence.
How much does Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence cost?
+
Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aix-en-Provence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Aix-en-Provence is not rushed.
Is Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 271 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Aix-en-Provence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-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 Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
+
Around 95 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 Aix-en-Provence 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 Aix-en-Provence and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-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 Aix-en-Provence 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 Aix-en-Provence?
+
On Outty we rank every Aix-en-Provence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luberon Villages Half-Day Tour from Aix-en-Provence, An Aix-traordinary Walking City Tour of Aix-en-Provence, Cotes de Provence Wine Tour from Aix-en-Provence. 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 Aix-en-Provence?
+
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 Aix-en-Provence?
+
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.
What is included in Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
+
Included: Transport by air-conditioned minibus; Photo stops in lavender fields; and Professional driver/guide. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Provence Lavender Fields Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
