Lavender Blooming in Provence
Trip highlights:
- The barren giant Mont Ventoux
- Blooming lavender fields of Sault
- Ruined city of Les Baux-de-Provence
Violet-glowing fields - ochre rocks - delicate scents
From mid-June to the end of July, the lavender bloom in Provence reaches its peak. The blue of the lavender flowers against the ochre earth, the intoxicating fragrance and the enchanting landscape make this Deluxe coach tour to Provence during the lavender season an unforgettable travel experience.
Day 1: Switzerland - Provence
The Rhône Valley forms the gateway to Provence. Via Valence and Montélimar you reach L’Isle sur la Sorgue.
The last pick-up point in German-speaking Switzerland is Bern, Schützenmatte bus stop, at 09.15.
Day 2: Ventoux - Lavender
Drive up to the majestic summit of Mont Ventoux. At its foot lie the most beautiful lavender fields in France, glowing violet around Sault. Visit a lavender distillery in the former county town of Sault, the heart of French lavender cultivation.
Day 3: Avignon - Pont du Gard
Optional excursion: visit Avignon with its Pont d’Avignon. In the afternoon, admire the impressive Pont du Gard, which forms part of an aqueduct and bears witness to the extraordinary engineering skills of the Romans.
Day 4: Arles - Camargue
The city of Arles with its mighty Roman arena is the soul of Provence. In the Rhône delta lies the natural landscape of the Camargue, known for cattle and horse breeding, salt production and rice growing. Stop in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. On the return journey, enjoy the view from Les Baux, a medieval “ghost town” perched on a rocky spur of the Alpilles.
Day 5: Luberon - Roussillon
You make a detour into the mountains of the Vaucluse to the sleepy village of Roussillon, which is one of the most beautiful villages in France and attracts visitors with its famous glowing ochre quarries. By contrast, the venerable Sénanque Abbey is again surrounded by lavender fields in full bloom.
Day 6: Provence - Switzerland
Return journey to Switzerland.
You stay for 5 nights in the heart of Provence at the romantic 4* Hotel SOWELL Le Domaine de la petite Isle (official national category) in L’Isle sur la Sorgue, a town with an excellent reputation as an antiques village. The hotel, set in a quiet and picturesque location, is nestled in a 1.6-hectare park on the riverbank. Look forward to two pools and friendly service. The renovated, air-conditioned rooms all have a private bathroom or shower/WC, hairdryer and TV. In the hotel restaurant you can enjoy typical dishes prepared with fresh regional ingredients. Equivalent hotel in case of unavailability.
