Additional Information & Description
The Gorges of Verdon and Fields of Lavender Tour takes you from Nice into the French countryside for a nine-hour day of dramatic landscapes and village exploration. The route combines guided travel with time to explore on your own, taking in Castellane, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and the Verdon Gorge rather than focusing on a single stop.
Waterfalls and the Verdon canyon
Travel into the hills with your driver and cross the “gorge of the wolf”, where a 40-metre-high waterfall adds an early highlight to the journey. After a stop at Castellane, the route follows the turquoise Verdon, with views into its 700-metre-deep canyon. The river and the scale of the gorge give this stretch of the tour its distinctive appeal: the scenery unfolds as you travel along the water, not just at the village stops.
Free time in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie sits beneath a rocky cliff, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The village is known for its long history of ceramic craftsmanship, adding a cultural stop to the landscape-focused itinerary. You have free time here to explore at your own pace. This is the part of the day when you can step away from the guided journey and spend time looking around the village independently.
Seasonal lavender photography
The tour also includes the chance to photograph the world-famous lavender fields, with the snowy Alps as their backdrop. This part of the itinerary is seasonal: the lavender period runs from 15 May to 15 July. Those dates matter if the fields are a particular reason for your visit, since this landscape feature belongs to a limited part of the year.
