    All is good, visited so many places in one day. Beautiful lavender field. Just that they couldn’t pick up from hotel as stated, and it was hard to get Uber in the morning to get to the meeting point, so prepare to leave hotel earlier to avoid extra stress.

    Our guide wanted and gave us a unique experience. She found the ripened fields and gave us the opportunity to feel the full beauty of them by ourselves and not in touristed areas. She was knowledgeable but allowed for us to create our own individual experiences vs being led arround and talked at. We were even given a tour of the distillery by it’s owner. I have never had such a phenomenal guide….. my age. Sorry dear woman please forgive my forgetfulness. We even saw deer and a wild boar in the mountains

    The lavender fields were beautiful and the small towns were charming. Giles was an excellent guide and driver. It’s a long day, so we were exhausted by the end.

    Gilles was such a funny tour guide :) The tour went very smoothly and we not only visited 1 nor 2 but 3 lavender fields (well 3.5, the other 0.5 was seen from afar)! The timing was perfect and the car ride was very comfortable. Communication with him pre-trip was excellent as well. 100% would recommend but go during the blooming season like early/mid july.

    It was a very nice experience. I definitely recommend this trip. Our guide, Gilles, was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He took us to the best spots to photograph the sights.

    Unfortunately, the day we planned our Provence Villages and Lavender Fields tour it rained hard. Fortunately, our driver, Gilles, reworked the itinerary and drove us to the location of the remaining lavender fields first. We started out near Sault. The lavender fields were sparse (end of July), but we knew that would be the case. Nevertheless, they ticked the box for seeing and smelling the beautiful lavender and bucolic French countryside. Our shoes and pant legs were quite muddied due to the rain, but we were able to get some good lavender field shots before moving on to Sault. Sault was a charming village. We purchased some nice lavender products there, which was good because there weren't too many better shopping opportunities after. We had a lavender flavored ice cream. The ice cream was great quality, but the lavender was a bit strong. I would recommend another flavor. I grabbed a small sandwich at the boulangerie, because it was unclear where we would have lunch given the rain and detours. The boulangerie was fantastic and we got a peek at the bread oven. We then went to Rousillon, which is just beautiful. Fortunately, the rain had subsided and we were able to stroll around unfettered by the rain and enjoy a nice lunch on a rear patio overlooking the valley. We ate at one of the two restaurants across from the Hotel de Ville. The food was just so-so, but the service was very pleasant and the view fantastic. Others that opted for restaurants without the views reported better food. We then went near Gordes. This part of the tour was a little weird. Gilles told us he could not drive us to the center and drop us, but we could walk to it and return. He mentioned that there wasn't much to see. It looked too far to comfortably walk to, so we all took photos and loaded up and took off. Later, we actually drive through Gordes and he asked if we wanted to stop and look around. It actually looked interesting and worth a walk around, but we were all tired by that time and opted to keep moving. We also went to the Abbaye to Senanque, which is the quintessential Abbaye you see in photos with gorgeous lavender growing in front of it. Unfortunately, the lavender was not in full force when we visited. There were only small, baby plants in front. However, there were some other fields a bit further away. We opted to take a tour of the Abbaye itself, which was quite beautiful. The last stop was really nice, Fontaine de Vaucluse. Gilles did a great job.
