Full description

Discover France’s most scenic landscapes on a full-day trip to Castellane, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, and the Verdon Gorge from Nice. See the iconic Lavender Fields and learn about these picturesque locations from your guide.

Be picked up from your hotel or home address in Nice. Depart with your driver to the hills of your countryside destination.

Cross the "gorge of the wolf", complete with its 40-meter-high waterfall, before stopping at Castellane. Whilst traveling along the Verdon (named for its astonishing turquoise green color), enjoy spectacular views of the 700-meter-deep canyon.

Afterward, move on to the village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, nestled under a rocky cliff and surrounded by mountains from all sides. Known for its rich history in ceramic craftsmanship, you will have free time here to explore Moustiers at your leisure.

Discover the earthenware in the stores, and buy souvenirs before lunch in one of the terrace cafes. Photograph the world-famous lavender platters, or enjoy the lake of St. Croix, an artificial treasure of clear water that is one of the most beautiful lakes of Provence.

Then, marvel at the endless lavender fields at the foot of the Alps and stop to take unique and memorable pictures with this impressive backdrop. Stop to smell the light and enchanting lavender aroma surrounding you as you do.

After enjoying your trip, return to your vehicle at which point you will be driven back to your point of origin in Nice.

Nb: Lavender season runs from approximately mid-June to mid-July.

It was the funniest and nicest guided trip that I had. It was excellent. The Driver Mattieu (I hope I wrote his Name correct) was the best guide. He explained everything when we were driving. He knew the history of everything and he is a very cultured guy. He always knows what he is telling and can communicate perfect. He is also very fun and it was planned very well. Very nice Locations and good activites. A MUST DO IN NICE!

It was amazing! Matt was a really nice, sympathic and funny guide. He knew the different places well and told us so much about the different spots. The small towns were charming to visit and we had an incredible view over the Gorges du Verdon. At the end of the day we made a wine tasting, that I wasn’t expecting - very cool! I highly recommend.

Amazing day trip with I think his name was Yusuf? Lavender wasn’t in bloom as of May 23rd but the other sights made up for it. Make sure to sit on the left side of the van for the best views of the gorge. That was my only complaint about the trip. I was on the right side and didn’t get as many pictures and we didn’t stop often while in the gorge. Also, it was slightly hard to hear the guide since we was a little quiet. But the tour was awesome and is a great deal.
