Price From $1,352This will be the perfect holiday trip to discover the beauty of Provence, a land of incredible landscapes where the sun shines most of the year. Its natural light is so particular that it has inspired artists such as Van Gogh and Cezanne.
The first day will be in Apt, a French town located in the heart of Luberon Regional Nature Park.
There, in addition to discovering its beautiful landscapes, you will be able to visit the local market, but be sure to go on the days when it is open; you can ask in your accommodation.
As a curious fact, we tell you that this French town has been famous since the Middle Ages for its production of fruit jams. Currently, Apt's factories produce 15,000 tons of jam every year, so we recommend trying them before you start your trip.
After leaving Apt behind, you'll find beautiful forests and vineyards. This incredible landscape is the perfect setting to enjoy a picnic with the best regional products.
Afterwards, you can follow your way to the charming hilltop village of Bonnieux.
After breakfast, you'll be ready to start your walk through Petit Luberon, one of the mountains that make up the Luberon massif.
When you reach the top, you can stop to observe the views before heading towards Bonnieux, along a steep descent.
Your route to Roussillon will be accompanied by the beautiful scenery of the Luberon, a mountain massif with an altitude of 1256m above sea level and made up of three separate mountain ranges.
Little by little you will see the characteristic ochre-coloured cliffs, which will indicate that you are getting closer to your destination.
Once in Roussillon, you can relax and get to know the charm of the streets of this fascinating Provence village.
Today will be an ideal day to discover the magic and beauty of the Provencal villages.
You will start by visiting Joucas, a charming village nestled in the middle of a hill. Stroll through its picturesque cobbled streets while admiring its beautiful and characteristic houses.
You will then continue on your way to Gordes, a village located in the heart of the Luberon, in the Vaucluse Hills. Its beauty has inspired many artists, as its yellow buildings, narrow stone streets and magnificent Renaissance castle are a real feast for the eyes.
Today will be an ideal day to stroll around Gordes and its surroundings. Walk in the middle of the countryside, along the banks of the River Senancole and along paths surrounded by nature and the enchanting landscapes of this region.
Afterwards, take the opportunity to get to know Gordes better and, if you have time, visit the castle, from where you can enjoy magnificent views.
Today's walk will take you to the Senanque Abbey, a beautiful yet simple monastery set amidst the traditional fields of Provence, which turn purple during the lavender season and offer magnificent picturesque views.
Continue your journey to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, a beautiful medieval village that will enchant you with its splendid scenery. Here you will find the Vaucluse spring, a karstic spring, the fifth largest in the world, which is characterised by its emerald green waters.
Later, you will have an inclusive transfer to L'Isle sur la Sorgue, where you will spend the night.
