avenue Giuseppe Verdi - Aix-en-Provence

This tour will take you to the heart of the Provence region where you can soak up the scents and the atmosphere of the region !  Set off in a minibus for the Pays de Sault to see wild lavender fields stretching as far as the eye can see, and visit the town of Sault, also known as the 'Lavender Capital'. You'll have some free time to explore the area and have lunch. In the afternoon, you'll head to the hilltop villages of Monnieux, Saint Saturnin-les-Apt and Saignon. Perched high in the valley, their exceptional locations provide stunning panoramic views of the Provencal backcountry !  The route back to Aix en Provence will take you through an area known as Le Plateau de Claparèdes, giving you a final chance to admire the magnificent lavender fields before arriving back in the city.
